There are, however, several alternatives on the market that contain the same dosage, have you spoked to your doctor about using on of those? One of them is Ortho-Novum, there is also Genora, Nelova and Norinyl, as well as a few generics. Some common side effects to these birth control tablets may include: nausea, headache and weight gain. Are there any other questions I can answer for you?

3	Natalee Says: Report Abuse Monday, 7/27/2009 11:22:28 AM I called Watson and spoke with them directly and they adised it has NOT been discontinued, it is only on a temporary delay. There is not an ETA date however of when it will be available again. My pharmacy told me the first week of August but Watson did not confirm that. Hope this helps!

5	Tabatha Says: Report Abuse Friday, 9/4/2009 1:12:36 PM OMG, ok so I thought I was the only one ... I was fine, this is to stop everything, and was the only thing that worked, now I am in such severe pain when it gets to the end of my cycle that I feel almost like I am having kidney stones (which I know is not the case from past experience), I really hope that Neco does become available, I am on Notrel and it doesn't work!!!
6	Kel Says: Report Abuse Monday, 9/21/2009 6:57:06 AM I have been on a generic for Ortho Novum 1/50-28 for a long time now. Having tried dozens and dozens of other BC pills & shots/patches, etc, this is the ONLY thing that has worked for me... I was told last month a distributor discontinued it, they werent sure why. I spent all day today calling various pharmacies in my surrounding area to find one who thinks they might be able to get it in. Whats worse? I still have about 9 refills left of this, but my Dr left the practice when the practice closed, so Id have to be forced to find a new Dr, explain everything, yadda yadda yadda in hopes a new Dr would know something else to try.

8	Kathleen Says: Report Abuse Friday, 11/6/2009 9:47:48 PM I am also VERY UPSET about the discontinuation. Whoever is responsible for the discontinuation has no idea how much it has helped women who really need it. I haven't found any other kinds that have controlled my pain and flow like Necon 1/50 did. I really hope that we can get it back- and soon!
