For Birth Control "Had the most awful experience with Marlissa. Took it every day at the same time, and the first week was fine. Noticed boobs got larger, but not painful. Second week, and I started getting gassy. I'm a very healthy, fit, slim 34-year-old female who eats a vegetarian diet. I don't know this problem at all. Third week, and the bloating got so severe that I couldn't work out anymore, the pain from the pressure made me scream when I tried to push on the toilet. I became sick to my stomach and threw up several times a day. I missed days at work, couldn't eat anything anymore, even drinking water caused me to throw up. My blood pressure was so low that I had to stay in bed, or I would have passed out. Immediately stopped taking it, but symptoms persisted for two more days. Absolutely horrible!"

For Birth Control "Do not let bad reviews stop you from trying Marlissa! I have been on it a little under a month, and I have had no side effects! I was previously on Xulane, but I hated it. I feel so much better on Marlissa! The only thing I’ve noticed is that I get “gassy,” lol, around the time I take it. Other than that, it is perfect!"

For Birth Control "On my third week of Marlissa and my period, well, I’ve had my period since my first day of taking the pill. I’ve been emotionally anxious and depressed. I’ve also been really gassy. I just want to know if anyone else has had this experience with nonstop periods."
