NEVER AGAIN will I take this crap. I can't believe it made it on the market. I remember my first few doses where I was lying in bed frozen since the slightest movement made the whole room spin. My eyes felt like they were being spun out of my head and my body trembled from the inside. The side effects were really bad for 3 hours after taking my dose. I have zero faith in my neurologist after he prescribed this for me. I switched to natural treatments and everything improved dramatically. Lyri... View full comment

I was on Junel for a 2 or 3 years. I absolutely loved it. I went through a year and a half of hit and misses with many different types of birth controls. I did not gain weight, I actually lost a lot of weight and maintained a great weight or have depression. However, I did have a difference in my sex drive right before I quit taking it due to money troubles. I was on it for 2 and a half years and all of a sudden my intamacy with my boyfriend went from full on drive to where I couldn't get in... View full comment

I am older, in my forties, and when I found out a friend my age got the vaccine, I decided to consider it. I have two friends with HPV and they have suffered a lot with treatments and such over the past few years. I wanted to avoid this for myself. I got the first shot and within a week I started suffering dizziness, nausea, vomiting, fever, weakness, sleep problems, tingling and numbness in both feet, irritability. I have some type of nerve damage in my feet that a podiatrist hopes will impr... View full comment

I shared my experience regarding Junel FE because it was what I went through when taking this birth control. Everyone's reaction is going to be different because no two people are the same. I do have a child, plus I had my Gallbladder removed 5 months after my c-section. In addition, I had a complicated pregnancy, the ob/gyn who I normally see was busy and I ended up with one of his assistant's who was not my scheduled ob/gyn and did not know medical history nor seemed concerned when being in...
