For Birth Control "I’ve been on Marlissa for a year now, and I used to have really bad cramps to the point where I couldn’t get up and do anything. Ever since I started taking Marlissa, my period is much lighter, and I barely get cramps. I was switched by accident to another pill with another name and had breakthrough bleeding, all types of side effects, so I came back to Marlissa, and everything is back to normal. I haven’t gained any weight from it, and I never break out, barely any side effects for me."

For Birth Control "I have been on Marlissa for almost a year now. I used to have severe cramps and heavy bleeding throughout my period. The first few months, I didn't notice too much of a change. For one, I take it at night as most medications upset my stomach (so I didn't really have any nausea). It didn't do much to make my cycle lighter until about 4-5 months in. Now, I do still have some cramping around when my cycle 'should' be (I naturally have a shorter cycle), but beyond that, am quite satisfied with this medication. My periods are much lighter, I do still break out some during my period but not as much, and it effectively prevents pregnancy for me. I do still experience some PMS symptoms, but not as severely as before. I haven't noticed any weight gain I could attribute to this medication."

For Birth Control "I've tried this pill after being recommended by a doctor. I took the first pill and have been bleeding since. It's been a little over 2 weeks now, the blood clots are ridiculous. It is the worst."
