Lizinna pill reviews

Taking this contraception as I said I did not like my other combined pill as it really lowered my moods, but this pill does exactly the same. I cry all the time, have lowered moods, vaginal dryness and an extreme loss of sex drive that it is effecting my relationship

Switched from cilest to lizinna. Noticed increased sweating, weight gain and trouble reaching orgasm.

I switched to Lizinna from Cilest. I hoped it would help my skin improve, it has got rid of the majority of my acne but I now get different types of spots under the surface of my skin (usually the cheek area) which are more painful. I've also had issues with thrush and painful breasts.

This was the worst few months of my life, after being swapped from Cilest to this I can say it was absolutely awful! I would have Heavy bleeding ever few days, especially during sex it would cause heavy bleeding that would last a few hours then just stop. My periods became irregular and my mood was at an all time low. I went to the doctor who told me it would not be the pill however upon speaking to a nurse who specialises in contraception she told me that although it’s the same as cilest different brands can cause different reactions. I would not recommend this to anyone.

I had used this for a good 6 months, and can say it was the worst six months of my life I was up nauseas every night I was gaining weight and mood swings were extremely bad. I stopped it as I just kept getting more ill and then recently come back in it to find that I was the reason I was getting really ill

Was given Lizinna by my doctor as the Cilest pill was no longer available. Found the I completely lost my sex drive (its normally quite high). Had crazy mood swings and found it gave me the worst PMS I've ever had, I didn't even feel like myself.

Issued lizinna as doctors not issuing cilest anymore. Modd swings are horrendous, I actually feel crazy. Will be coming off this pill. Although the hormones may be the same the pills are definitely different.

Horrific. Was on Cilest for about 10 years until they discontinued it and swapped to Lizinna. I took it for one month and I bled every single day. I cried every day and became utterly depressed. I was so overwhelmed by life, everything became so difficult to understand, even things I'd done for years. Nearly quit my job because I could no longer understand what to do. I kept thinking being dead would be better because I felt worthless. Felt extremely anxious and panicked about doing normal activities. Really tired when I woke up in the morning. One day I wondered if the pill might be making me depressed so I stopped taking it and within 2 days I was feeling normal again, I haven't cried since and I love my life again! Doctor said it's the worst side effect he's ever seen for a pill and that it is an unbranded version so has exactly the same hormones as Cilest but mixed with other chemicals to make the pill shape, so it's not pure. Almost ruined my life.

This contraception was the worst I ever tried. My mood swings were horrendous and frequent. I felt like it was going to drive me crazy. I came off of it 2 months after using it.

Better than my last pill
