"As I read through the comments I want to remind everyone that we all have different bodies. Personally I have a high level of hormones and tend to break out often. I have tried multiple brands and have had pretty bad symptoms. I tried this brand and like all BC the first few weeks I had symptoms especially nausea as my body was getting adjusted. I’ve been taking this brand for about 2 years and now have beautiful skin and short/ less painful periods. If you have similar issues as I did I would highly recommend giving this brand a try. Hope this was helpful for other women who suffered from acne and elevated hormone levels."

"I have only been on Loryna a month. Please avoid taking this birth control. I took one month and can't take it . I thought I was going crazy I don't even recognize my own house. I have severe anxiety to the point where I'm crying all day. And on top of it I'm having symptoms of IBS that I hope clear up cause I just can't deal with that. The stomach problems are so bad I've lost 15 pounds in less than a week cause of the extreme gastrointestinal symptoms. I'm just hoping I can clear all this up please pray for me. I stopped taking the pills it has only been a day I just hope I can recover from the negative side effects this pill has caused. Correction I will recover its going to take time but I will get through this. AVOID LORYNA at all cost and any birth control that contains that synthetic hormones drospirenone."

"Started this birth control 2 weeks ago, I’m on week three and I can barely eat. When I try to eat I can only get a couple of bites in then I’m full. One day I spent 5 minutes straight gagging in the bathroom. This did not clear up my skin, I actually broke out more. I stopped taking it yesterday and now I can eat again. I’m already pretty thin so I do not need to lose anymore weight. I do not recommend this birth control."

"I have endometriosis, only hormonal acne, and Loryna is the best! I used to have extremely painful periods but now I don't have a period at all and no acne whatsoever. I didn't notice a weight gain at all or really any change in my mood. Obviously the first 1-3 months were a bit emotional and moody but after that it's been great! I've been on it for about 7-8 months now, take the pill every night at bedtime and I skip the white pills so I don't have a period. But there is one downside, I have zero sex drive. I'm 20, in a great healthy relationship and normally have a pretty high sex drive with my partner. Now I'm bone dry all the time and it is very rare when I get in the mood. I /want/ to have sex however, my body and brain just do not react or get in the mood the way they used to. One more thing to mention from my experience, my body does have to have a period every 3-4 months. I spot for a week and must stop have a natural period. This is okay with me, but others might not like that"

"This birth control is heaven-sent. Before Loryna, I was on Lo-Loestrin, which cleared my acne but I had gained 50+ pounds and was horribly depressed. I began using Loryna because I knew it could clear my skin up and treat my PMDD. I was terrified because of the side effects last time, but I am so happy I gave it a chance!!!! My skin is clear, I have no PMDD symptoms, my period is manageable, I'm not ravenously hungry, and my sex drive is normal (if not higher than usual)."

"I got switched to Loryna from Yaz because my insurance wanted to pay for the generic version instead. Everything Yaz did successfully, Loryna does not. I can't believe this drug is on the market, and they say it is the same - it seems to do nothing. I have spotting every month for 2 weeks at a time. Where Yaz helped stabilize my moods, one of the notable reasons I knew Yaz worked was because it resulted in breast growth/tenderness, and Loryna creates no change. So I feel like Loryna is a placebo. I am thankful I'm not relying on Loryna for birth control as I shudder to think how ineffectual that would be."

"On Loryna I have had migraines almost on a daily basis. I have felt nausea and high anxiety. It did help me with controlling my heavy flow."

"The Loryna birth control pill has worked pretty great for me. No weight gain, a little less acne than normal. I still have a period but it is so much more manageable and light."
