I’ve heard this birth control is supposed to be helpful for acne, but I have been flushed since I started taking it and seen a couple breakouts, and I haven’t even finished my first pack yet. I have also been sweating profusely off and on since the second week of taking it. Those are the most significant side effects I’ve noticed. I did just have my Mirena IUD removed after my uterus tried to absorb it, so these effects could be related to that. I’ve been on many different birth control pills over the past 15 years and usually I have no side effects after the first month or two, so we’ll see.

Began experiencing yeast infections almost immediately after beginning medications, even though I’ve had zero history of yeast infections in the past. Also experienced increase vaginal dryness with painful intercourse. Last but not least, I feel like my depression has been worse.

The only negative is loss of sex drive, other than that it has helped my mood

I will preface this review by saying I haven’t hit the full “3 month waiting period” for Junel yet, but so far I hate it. I’m so moody and angry all the time. I feel depressed and low. I have never felt these feelings before and the only thing in my life that has changed? My birth control. I’ve heard terrible things about the pill and I would not recommend Junel to anyone. Also I’m covered in hives and I swear they are from starting this birth control. The only thing I’m my life that has changed: birth control, but the doctor’s don’t believe me.
