User Comments about Micronor

13 Oct 2011	I think that this medication gave me total sexual dysfunction. I also feel depressed and tired. I am going to stop this pill today and see if these possible side effects improve. —Posted by Anonymous Respond Display Name: Email: (Required) Notify me of new comments Email me monthly survey results Sending...

25 Sep 2011	I felt as though my anxiety worsened while on micronor. I am not longer on it due to that. I also feel as though it made my period irregular, caused worsened cramps, and also took away my sex drive. I have felt better while off the drug. —Posted by Anonymous Respond Display Name: Email: (Required) Notify me of new comments Email me monthly survey results Sending... I agree to the Terms of Use
12 Mar 2011	Micronor is good but has stopped my periods which is a bit disconcerting —Posted by Anonymous Respond Display Name: Email: (Required) Notify me of new comments Email me monthly survey results Sending... I agree to the Terms of Use
12 May 2009	I had allergic reactions to birth control pills with estrogen so this progesterone only pill works well. However I have highly irregular periods, coming close together, with interminten spotting. —Posted by Anonymous Respond Display Name: Email: (Required) Notify me of new comments Email me monthly survey results Sending...
