I have been on this pill after switching from Femcon FE for 2 months and I still have not gotten a period. I've had extremely painful abdominal cramps, intense fatigue, and heavy acne. I'm switching back ASAP.

I have experienced that I get easily pissed off on this birth control. I love Femcon but I find myself extremely moody and almost anxious on this generic version. I have not gotten to my period week yet but I just wanted to review for right now.

I've been on this pill for 3 months and out of the 3 months I've been on it there has been 1 week of no bleeding. Was told to give it 3 months for my body to regulate to the pill. 1 week into month 4 I'm going to see my dr to get off this pill. Horrible bleeding and constant migrains for 3+ months is by far long enough. Moody and snappy while on this pill. So sorry I agreed to take this one.

Have experienced very heavy cramping durring the entire month which I never experienced with FemCon FE. Spoke to OBGYN and was told to stayon it for three months to see if it works out. This is week 2 of the third month and nothing has chnaged. I also find that I am etremely emotional and experience symptoms similar to PMS all month long. My periods are very painful and much heavier(moreso than Femcon FE). On FemCon, I would have a minor cramp the day I was expecting my period and a light period would last approximately three days. On Zeosa, I have been in agony for approximately three days (doubled over in pain). My period is three days later than normal and I experienced a burst of blood that lasts for about 1 hour. This burst was far more than any feminine napkin could withstand. After the one hour beign stuck on the toilet while it poured out, all period symptoms are gone.Read More Read Less

Great pill. Does its job with no side effects plus it is cheaper than femcon.

I could tell an immediate change in my body after the first couple days of taking the drug. I began having rapid heart beats, feeling dizzy or "spaced out", trouble sleeping, feeling anxious, and overall just not feeling well. I have been off of the drug for a month now and I am still having the same symptoms. My body is taking longer than ususal to rid itself of the drug. I WOULD NOT suggest taking this drug at all. If you can, stick to Femcon Fe.

Terrible experience. I was originally on Femcon FE and my mailorder Rx carrier just refilled using this generic version. I've been on it for three days and have experienced severe mood swings, nausea, cramps, rapid heart beat and insomnia. I just got a refill of Femcon. DO NOT USE
