"i was on nora be for 2.5 years. previously had taken combination pill, then was off bc for a while. started nora be to alleviate my heavy painful periods. at first i was pleased because it helped the physical side effects of my cycle. but i noticed less and less regular periods (expected) with tons of other physical symptoms. weight gain, acne, anxiousness, depression, fatigue, and bloating. i was so bloated all the time. i would have these horrible emotional pms symptoms for like 3 weeks, spot for 2-3 days, normal for a week, and then back to the horrible symptoms. i just couldn&#039;t deal with it anymore - it was affecting every area of my life. on the plus side, i didn&#039;t get pregnant.

i stopped taking it 6 months ago and feel great."
