"I've been taking lessina for less than 2 months now (for my Pelvic floor myaliga )and I've had a horrible experience so far. The end of the first pack (around the 2 white pill) I started my period and the first 2 days were fine (other than the fact that I'm constantly in pain) but the 3rd day I was terrible I went through 6 pads with a bunch of clots mind you I've never had clots with a period before. So I had to go to the ER. Which they had to give me IV fluids and pain medication because the pain I had was so much worse than just the usually periods I get. They told me it was from the BC. And I should be switched right away. I also suffer from depression as it is and I've just haven't been able to pick myself up. I've been on so many BCs and nothing helps."

"This pill is the worst. I have been on many different etc pills due to insurance change and BCP discontinued YEARS. I have severe anxiety which I never have. I have heart palpitations and arrhythmias my new cardiologist says are benign. I have insomnia, nausea, bloating, spotting every week, and sweating! I have endometriosis which is awful but this pill takes the cake."

"My doctor prescribed Lessina for potential endometriosis. I requested a low dose, older generation birth control, since I've never taken any before. This worked OK, I suppose. I only was able to take a little over two weeks worth before finally having to call it quits. I was about halfway through my last active row when I stopped. The pros: It seemed to help my moods level out and I was generally in a better mood than usual. I did not get headaches, nausea or acne from this pill. The cons: Oh, the anxiety was awful and one of the main reasons why I gave up. It made me so jittery every day to the point where I felt like always panicking. I also had unusual aches in my arms and legs while taking this. It felt like I had been working out more. Lastly, I had pretty bad joint pain and general stiffness while on this pill. I know everyone is different, so I'm glad that this pill works for a lot of people. I just wish it would have worked better for me."
