Desogen and headaches

I was put on Desogen two months ago to get my cycle to match with an egg donor for a surrogacy. I had to go through many test and am a healthy person. From day one on the pill I have been so tired and unhappy. I sleep all night and could sleep all day to if I could. I feel so lazy and sad. I have no desire to do the things I always do. I also have headaches every day some real bad I have to stay in bed in the dark. My husband sees the change in me and is concerned. I go back to the doctor tomorrow and if I still need to be on the pill I am going to tell him I want something new. I am on no other medicine and I know all the bad changes have to be caused from this pill. If I would have put two and two together sooner I would have changed last month.

I have been on Desogen for about 2 months. Horrible nausea, cramps, and mood swings. I lost 6 pounds on the first month. I had terrible headaches. I started having breakout down the sides of my face and forehead. I wouldn't recommend this but to each is own.

I've been on Desogen for 9 months. Since then I've had so much stress and anxiety. I thought this was due to a major life change, but after reading this I'm sure it's from the Desogen. There's days I won't even get out of bed, and when I'll cry and scream over nothing. Yesterday I quit my job and drove home over 100 mph and ran almost every red light just because my boyfriend was going to the bar (for the first time in months) and I didn't want to be left home alone. I've also had terrible headaches, nausea, constipation, and gas. As soon as I finish this pack, I'm done for good.

Desogen is the worst birth control pill!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have experienced many problems: 1. Sex Drive is GONE! 2. Weight Gain and increased hunger 3. Severe Abdominal Cramps 4. Headaches 5. Mood Swings -From extreme bad temper to crying over nothing 6. Nervousness 7. Hot Flashes 8. Flushed Cheeks 9. Constipation 10. Depression
Should I go on? I do not recommend this to anyone!!!!
My Husband's Comment: "THIS IS THE WORST I HAVE EVER SEEN !" He also says no one should be taking this. It should be taken off the market!

I have been on this pill for a year and a half. This pill is horrible. It does its job ( I have not gotten pregnant) but has very bad side effects. I have problems sleeping, really low self-esteem, nausea, gained weight, went up a cup in my breast size, bad mood swings, bad headaches, memory loss, and other sick feelings. I decided to look up the side effects after all this time and realized that it is because of this pill. DO NOT TAKE THIS PILL!

The first birth control i was on for 3 months was called cyclessa or something like that..it didnt work.. i had my period for 3 months straight. So then my doctor put me on desogen and now im always depressed...the littlest thing will make me upset and i cry for no reason. My boyfriend has ev en noticed that i've changed, and i dont want it to ruin anything between us. I also have headaches. Usually i eat a lot of food but now i dont want to eat much/cant eat much. Also i have been getting sick to my stomach. Usually if i take it after i eat but it has tobe the SHORTLY after, most of the time i can't do that..or i forget and when i do, and take 2 pills i feel horrible. I have only been taking desogen for a month and a half...i cant think anymore.. or concentrate on homework. I get lazy and not want to do things i normal do. I have also been very very tired. I know you're supposed to be on pills for 3 months. I will still try but otherwise...im not very happy with this pill, i hope everything gets better before it ruins my life!

I started on this medication 6 days ago as part of a fertility treatment (I'm going to be having in vitro fertilization). So far I must say I have quite a bit of breast tenderness and headaches every day. I do have some nausea so I don't know if it's pill or headacke related. Hopefully the side effects improve quickly!!!

I got painful, cyst-like acne, breast tenderness, weird stabbing stomach cramps, headaches, and nausea--almost the same symptoms as pregnancy! It started making me paranoid that I was pregnant...
