I was on Ortho Novum 7-7-7s for ten years and never had a problem with it. I was a little nauseated when I first started the pill (I think that's normal for most pills though), but it went away after a week or two.

I've was on Ortho Novum 1/35 for a couple of years and didn't have any problems. I actually think it helped my mood a lot too. I actually requested to be put back on it. The only reason I switched was from spotting between periods after having taken it awhile and I've had that problem with every pill so it might just be me.

I took Ortho Novum 1/35 for about 5 years and never had any negative side effects. I switched to Ortho Evra (the patch) about 6 months ago for the convinience of it, but otherwise, I would have stayed on Ortho Novum 1/35 indefinitely.
