My doctor prescribed Necon 0.5/35 for birth control. What can I expect?
I recently started using Necon 0.5/35 and I've had a few questions about the potential side effects and overall effectiveness. I have read the possible side effects are pretty lengthy and concerning. Can anyone share their experiences? I want to make sure I'm prepared. Thanks!
Did your doctor explain the importance of taking it at the same time every day? Consistency is key with birth control pills. Sometimes it's hard to remember, but I recommend using an alarm on your watch or phone if you think you might forget.
I had a friend who had some serious issues with Necon. She experienced severe mood swings and gained a lot of weight. She had to switch to a different birth control. I would definitely keep an eye out for those side effects and consult your doctor if you notice anything concerning.
A lot of birth control pills can affect your mental health. Keep an eye on any mood changes and talk to your doctor if you're feeling depressed or anxious. I had some depressive episodes and it was hard to get through. Be sure to report this side effect.
I've been on Necon for a few months and so far, so good. No major side effects for me, just some mild spotting initially. It seems to be working well for preventing pregnancy. Fingers crossed!
Have you considered tracking your symptoms with an app? Very helpful for noticing patterns and spotting any side effects.
I had some breast tenderness but it was manageable. Not fun but it's not a deal breaker. Take it one day at a time.
I had bad skin breakouts. My doc said that's common. Use a good skincare routine. I also read that eating healthy can help.
I had some weird visions. I stopped taking it and called my doctor. Here's the FDA link for rpting side effects: https://www.fda.gov/medwatch.
