I switched from Cilique to Lizinna due to the shortage and at first I thought it was good. It helped with my periods and made my skin clearer. The longer I was taking it, the more I noticed the effect it had on my mental health. My anxiety and depression had dramatically increased, to the point where i found it almost unbearable. I was having panic attacks everyday and found myself extremely emotional. I became a horrible person to be around due to my low mood and so I felt the need to stop socializing with my friends and family altogether. I eventually put 2 and 2 together and realized that it was most likely Lizinna. I managed to find a months worth of Cilique in a pharmacy and have been taking it for only a week now and have already seen a positive change in my mentality. I am just nervous because of this shortage and I ahve found Cilique to be the only pill that works for me after trying multiple (eg. Overeena, Cilique, Cilest, Lizinna and more)

Switched to this pill after Cilest was discontinued as it was supposed to have the same active ingredients. Throughout the course of taking this pill I suffered with recurrent vaginal thrush. I’ve now come off of it and post 2 months the thrush seems to finally be going away, but at the time it was terrible. I never had this issue on Cilest and don’t understand why this has happened if they’re supposed to have the same active ingredients? I wouldn’t recommend this pill for that reason.
