Lizinna pill reviews

I moved on to this from Cilique due to a shortage. At first I didn't notice any side effects or difference from cilique, but as the months went on (started around 3 months onwards) I noticed that the pill seemed to trigger my cold sores every single month, at least 1 week prior to my period starting. I've never had them triggered by hormones before and this is a big reason for coming off this pill. Looking back I also can see my sex drive dramatically reduced, but this could be also due to the cold sores.

Very few side effects other than a bit of breast tenderness and nausea in the first couple of months. Since then I've had much lighter periods and it helped with breakouts

Didn't love this; I switched from dianette to lizinna for about 1.5 years, and during that time it made me a lot less mentally stable and made my breasts sore around the time of my withdrawal bleeds. It did help with my painful periods and acne though.

I was on Cilest originally, and then swapped to Cilique and very recently they have had a supply issue and so switched onto Lizinna. I missed one pill last month (due to not collecting prescription on time) and then spotted consistently until I had a 7 day break and had a “period.” A week back on it now since the break and so far so good and no noticeable changes from using Cilique.

Was on Cilique for around 6 years and had to unexpectedly change to Lizinna when there was a nationwide shortage of Cilique. Despite being told Lizinna was essentially the same hormone ingredients as Cilique, my skin has got a lot better (less acne) on Lizinna in a relatively short period of time. Have had a couple of episodes of cystitis since being on Lizinna but this could be due to other factors - I’m not convinced this is due to the change in pill. No noticeable changes since being on Lizinna besides better skin

I was using Rigevidon in the last 6-7 years, and I had no problem with that, except that I had random headaches sometimes and I lost all my sex drive - so badly, that my husband started to complain, so I reached out for my GP to look for an other one. This is when I went onto Lizinna pill. Well, where to start.. Not only my sex drive didn't improve, but I started to gain weight very quick, even though I am doing strict diet and I cut down on alcohol a lot. I have only used 1,5 leaf of the pill, I am now going back to Rigevidon straight away!

Much better than any of my previous pills. My sex drive is better / back to normal and that’s the biggest thing I wanted! I feel like I am gaining weight though, and I have found myself feeling more anxious than my previous pills. Also, if I forget my pill (even once) it sends me into a full hormonal meltdown. I forgot to take it after a night out and the next day I was an absolute crying mess! Normally, it’s okay though, one of the better ones!

I’ve been taking this pill on and off for 10 years - I was put on it at 15 to regulate my mood, which really worked. I always have light, easy periods and haven’t had many side effects (other than finding it difficult to lose weight, but that’s probably half down to my own efforts). I did suffer from thrush EVERY month for about a year - came off the pill for 3 months, and when I went back on, I never got thrush again! Overall a great experience.

I started this pill after coming off Yasmin, i had a horrible time with yasmin so i was nervous. But this pill was amazing. My moods were fairly stable, my skin got better my weight regulated. I initially had some mild side effects but they stopped after a few months. I was on this pill from 15-22 and i never had any problems. I have recently had to change to a mini pill as I can’t take pills with oestrogen in any more, i was annoyed to come off Lizinna because it worked so well for me. I would definitely recommend it

Only used Lizinna for a week or so but had to stop immediately as everytime to took it I broke out in full-body hives/rash. Presumably I was allergic to some of it components but yeah not a good experience at all.
