I’ve been using Lizinna for just over 8 months. Started taking due to my PMS symptoms so I take 3 packs back to back then a break. I notice around the 3rd pack my mood is impacted negatively, and I know it’s time for a break. I haven’t spotted using this pill, I don’t get as many spots and if I do they don’t last as long and my general mood is better than before. I have gained 1+ stone in weight in the 8 months of using this pill. I haven’t been moving significantly less or eating significantly more so there is no other change than starting this pill. It is effecting me quite a bit as it is sending my body image down the swanny. I guess the pros outweigh the cons (pardon the pun)

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.

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


Improved skin
