Birth Control
"My doctor suggested Kariva to me because I was previously on Ortho Tri-Cyclen (which made me extremely moody/emotional) and more recently Lo-Estrin (which gave me no sex drive whatsoever and made me completely emotionless).  I was anxious to find a happy medium after going from one extreme to the other.  I&#039;ve been on Kariva for three months now.  I&#039;ve never been one to have any type of headaches of any kind, and after being on Kariva I experience headaches multiple times a day.  I&#039;m extremely tired all the time and I&#039;ve gained weight in my breasts (I&#039;m naturally a D and I&#039;ve went up to a large DD). No sex drive, extreme mood swings, acne and increased appetite. I can&#039;t wait to get off this pill.  Look for other options before taking Kariva."
