I started taking this almost two months ago and have had no side effects. I could not afford Ortho Tri Cyclen Lo and this was as close as I could get to the dosage in Ortho. I started taking it to shrink a large cyst and will continue to take it as an affordable and easy form of birth control.

I was very hesitant due to some of the negative comments but I have come to find that it's nothing I can't handle. The first week of every month is a little more "emotional" but I don't cry or have fits or anything drastic. I just notice I am a little more sensitive. I have had zero break through bleeding.

My periods are normal. My cramps are cramps...sometimes they hurt sometimes they don't. I was on Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo and loved it but the money was an issue so now I am on Caziant. It was well worth the money for me to trade pills.

I was recently on Ortho Cyclen Lo and loved it! I just had to start cutting costs and budgeting and decided that $60/month compared to $10/month was a good saver...boy was I wrong! Not only have I started to be more emotional after being on it for 9 months, but I have seen a huge increase in pilondial cysts on my inner thighs!

Not only have I started to be more emotional after being on it for 9 months, but I have seen a huge increase in pilondial cysts on my inner thighs! They were on both sides at one time and take forever to heal! They would also just show up one day out of the blue. I'm switching back to my Lo, its worth the $$ and not risking my health any longer!

I was on Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo for years until it became too expensive for me to stay on. I switched to Caziant and have had irregular periods and bloating since. One month my period came 4 days early and the next it came 2 days late and started out really light and suddenly became heavy with bad cramps.

I was on Cyclessa for a year, then Velivet for 4 years and my pharmacy just gave me Caziant instead recently. I've had breakthrough bleeding and crazy mood swings, neither of which were a problem in the years I was on the other two pills.
