Comment:
I was originally on Yaz for PMDD and then switched to Gianvi. So far, the only thing odd was the first 2 weeks- but then I adjusted fine. My placebo days were a bit rougher than on Yaz, but still were okay. I haven't had any bad side effects from switching to the generic as I feared. So, for me, Gianvi is working well enough.

I had been on Yasmin for years and then was put on Yaz for my PMDD symptoms and loved it! However just recently (2 to 3 months) I have been given the generic brand (Gianvi) and I definitely noticed a change. I have ZERO sex drive, am constantly bloated, and my indigestion that I struggle with has got increasingly worse! I loved Yaz and was excited when they started making a cheaper, generic form but I will tell you the extra money is SO worth it. I did not have any mental affects per say but feeling constantly bloated and nauseous all the time can drive one to be irratable and feel crazy. I suggest not taking this drug!

I have been taking Gianvi in place of Yaz for months now and have had no side effects. I found it to be equally effective and I'm as satisfied with it as I was with Yaz. The price difference makes it even better! I didn't have problems with PMS or PMDD before switching, so I don't have any reports on how it helps with PMDD (or doesn't).

Do not take this pill. It made me sicker than hell, ive been more irritable than i've ever been, and have been having axiety attacks that nearly put me in the hospital. I was on yaz for a year and a half and switched because of price. Trust me - the extra money is worth yaz.
