Loryna birth control pill  

I’ve heard this birth control is supposed to be helpful for acne, but I have been flushed since I started taking it and seen a couple breakouts, and I haven’t even finished my first pack yet. I have also been sweating profusely off and on since the second week of taking it. Those are the most significant side effects I’ve noticed. I did just have my Mirena IUD removed after my uterus tried to absorb it, so these effects could be related to that. I’ve been on many different birth control pills over the past 15 years and usually I have no side effects after the first month or two, so we’ll see.

Loryna birth control pill  

Began experiencing yeast infections almost immediately after beginning medications, even though I’ve had zero history of yeast infections in the past. Also experienced increase vaginal dryness with painful intercourse. Last but not least, I feel like my depression has been worse.

The only negative is loss of sex drive, other than that it has helped my mood

Loryna birth control pill  

I went on Loryna initially as a generic form of Yaz for my PMDD symptoms. I would bounce daily from full on rage to the deepest depression within a few minutes before being on these meds. Now everything is much more even and I feel that I can actually function in my day to day life. However, I have noticed that it has completely erased my sex drive to the point where I have to psych myself up for sex with my partner starting at least a day in advance to even feel a bit of desire. Before Loryna, I would be ready to go at the drop of a hat. I also have experienced a pretty significant increase in dryness, which I never had a problem with before, and I do not believe that age should be a factor in this just yet.
