"I didn’t get pregnant while on this pill, so that’s good. However, I had really bad cramps and heavy bleeding while on it. My periods usually aren’t that bad. Also, my skin was horrible. I rarely break out, but this gave me terrible acne. I’ve never had this bad of a reaction to any birth control pill."

"I took this method of birth control for approximately 5 months. It was effective as birth control, but the side effects surprised me. Tearful and angry, my reaction to the medication was definitely not overall positive. Some days were better than others, but most days were a struggle. I’ve been off the medicine for less than a week, and my mood is already much more stabilized."

"I had a bad experience with the Lyza pill. First, my throat got tight, and it was difficult to breathe. I called the doctor, and she said I'm having a bad reaction to Lyza, and I had to get off it. I only lasted 3 days. I am not allergic to ANYTHING, so these pills were definitely to blame. I also immediately got terrible cystic acne all over my chin/jaw area. I stopped on the third day... that was more than 2.5 months ago, and I STILL have terrible acne that I didn't have before. :( I hope it goes away soon. I don't recommend this product to anyone."

"I was given this pill as my only option for birth control pills because of my family's history of blood clots. I have currently been on this pill for 4 years, and my body has not felt the same since. The first year consisted of heavy clotting and irregular bleeding. I also experienced high levels of mood swings and weight gain. I hate this pill, and without insurance, I am left with very few options. I then decided to cut back and take my pills a couple of times a week. I have seen small improvements but nothing major. I would never, in my life, recommend this pill to anyone. So please, if you have other options, make this your last choice."

"I do not like Lyza. Been making me gain weight, and I haven't had my period in 2 months. And I KNOW I'm not pregnant because I haven't had sex in like 6-7 months."

"No experience yet, I barely started taking it last Sunday. They prescribed Lyza due to my being diabetic T2."

"I liked Lyza because it didn’t make me depressed, and I rarely got my period. Was on it for 2 beautiful years. But now I have a newborn baby, and although I love him, I was not expecting such a turn of events. I was totally clueless for a while because this birth control regularly made me miss periods, so I didn’t know until my belly started mysteriously sticking out. It was nice while it lasted, though."
