For Birth Control "I gained 20 lbs on Lillow, had the worst temper, bipolar (never was before - happy, sad, angry beginning of pill and week before period pill). Cramping that felt like I had to poop. Never-ending bottomless pit hunger. This may work for others, but my overall mental health and physique also changed my own perspective on myself. If it works for you, great! But may not work on others. But I never have gotten pregnant on it."

For Birth Control "Worst birth control pill I have ever been on. I’m just going to be blunt and state what it did to me. The water retention, bloating, and weight gain from water weight is horrible. My anxiety is uncontrollable now. I’m nauseous 24/7. I have acne all over my back and face now when I have had almost perfect skin my entire life. The mood swings and irritability are messing up my social and family life. I have zero motivation. I cry over nothing. My period lasts up to an entire month sometimes, and I have never skipped a single pill since I’ve been on it."

For Birth Control "Lillow is a horrible pill. Please do not take it. I gained lots of weight and had horrible PMS that lasted longer than usual. I also had terrible cramps. I have no idea why this pill is still on the market. I used to be on Portia and Ocella, and none of these symptoms happened before."

For Birth Control "I almost had a stroke. I am 30 years old, and my pharmacy just switched me to this birth control out of nowhere. I gained weight and had issues with my bones and pains in my arms. Also, I had signs of blood clots in my legs and arms. I have no health problems. Do not take this birth control, also, read the warning signs."

For Birth Control "Took for a year. Mood swings so bad (arguing, thinking the worst scenarios, and flipping out). Depression like crazy. Suicidal from depression. Anxiety and panic attacks and easily overwhelmed. 25 lb weight gain. Cramps, and I've never had them before in my life until this pill, where I would be arched over the toilet. Never got pregnant. I stopped taking all forms of birth control for my body to regulate itself, and I do feel a lot better now. Side note: if you feel this works for you, this was just what I went through."

For Birth Control "My 15-year-old daughter was prescribed Lillow in an attempt to regulate her periods (she was getting her period every two to three weeks). While her cycle did become regular and spaced out to once a month, she gained 15 pounds in 3 months and got acne on her cheeks/forehead where she previously had clear skin. She has stopped taking Lillow, and after our experience, I would NOT recommend Lillow to anyone."

For Birth Control "I started taking this pill due to my pharmacy switching my normal prescription. I have gained weight and have terrible mood swings. Just terrible lows. It's not worth it."

For Birth Control "Not a fan of Lillow pill. It’s made me gain 15 pounds, and my skin isn’t as good. I used to take other generic Portia and loved it."
