I am on APRI ( desogen substitute) just finishing up my second month. i have experienced nausea almost on a nightly basis and a loss of sex drive.However i just read that taking the pill nightly will help reduce nausea so i am going to start doing that because i usually take my pill every morning and feel sick at night. I am not sure though about the whole low sex drive thing...i am assuming the cure for that is to stop taking the pill. would my sex drive go back to normal if i did that?

I have been on many different birth control pills for the past four years. My first was Orth tricyclin, that made me very tired, withdrawn and irritable. I was switched to Desogen one year ago and have had MANY problems. I have been very irritable, very low sex drive, and short tempered. I will be looking for a new birth control ASAP now that I know that these side effects aren't chalked up to just stress. Thanks for all of the others who have added their 2 cents to help me make my decision.

I have been taking Desogen for about 7 months, and have been experiencing low sex drive, mood swings (perfectly happy one minute then one small negative thing will put me in a horrible mood instantly) and much heavier bleeding than with my previous pills. I have also gained weight recently (about 5 pounds) but that could very well be due to a change in eating habits.

I have been on Desogen for 3 weeks. I now have acne, am very emotional, and have a low sex drive. After reading these comments I finally realized that it was the pill. My husband and I decided that I need to stop taking it ASAP!
