"i&#039;d been on the nor-qd pill for many years without problem.  this year my insurance changed and the pharmacy issued sharobel in its place.  i thought it&#039;d be fine since it has the the exact same amount of norethindrone.  wow, was i wrong!  luckily i only got a three month supply because i am quitting this pill.

in two and half months on this pill, i&#039;ve had a period or bleeding every 5-7 days.  it&#039;s not just bleeding, i get the whole deal; cramps, lower back pain, hunger cravings, crankiness, and bloating.

my skin has broken out, i&#039;ve been super irritable/moody, and i don&#039;t understand how the side effects can be so extreme for me when i previously was on nor-qd for so long and experienced none of these things."
