I haven't had a breakout in years, within a week of starting Loryna I had actual acne cysts that left pockmarks. I've never had an acne cyst in my life!

I have been on this for 5 months and it is great no acne, mood swings, or weight gain in fact a little bit of weight loss. The only thing wrong with this pill is that my period was absent for 2 months but then it was regular. so far so good and it is better than Gianvi.

I have been on Gianvi for awhile and loved it. Recently received Loryna from CVS and after 4 days of taking it, I have severe breakouts. I stopped taking it immediately and am switching back to Gianvi. Steer clear!!!

For the love of all that is holy, STEER CLEAR LADIES. Worst birth control experience of my life. I have tried several over the last few years, and wanted to return to Yaz as I had a really good experience on it before, but my insurance was going to charge $68 A MONTH, so I was given the generic Loryna (for $5).

For the love of all that is holy, STEER CLEAR LADIES. Worst birth control experience of my life. I have tried several over the last few years, and wanted to return to Yaz as I had a really good experience on it before, but my insurance was going to charge $68 A MONTH, so I was given the generic Loryna (for $5). Within 2 weeks of being on it I got the most horrible, painful yeast infection (not prone to them, have only ever had one brief mild one a long time ago). My doctor put me on diflucan/fluconozole and it wouldn't go away. She ended up extending my prescription to 2 weeks and I was still so uncomfortable—it wasn't working, my body couldn't re-establish my PH balance. I went on the Candida diet (no sugar, yeast, carbs, etc.) but nothing worked. I also started getting horrible headaches, definitely lowered sex drive (also due to the yeast infection), vaginal dryness, and extreme emotional mood swings. When I started crying for NO REASON at all, I said that's it. I called the advice nurse and she said to stop taking it. As soon as I did my whole body felt amazing—like I'd been release from some poison. The yeast infection went away and all the other side effects. I know everyone has different chemical makeups, but trust me on this. DO NOT TRY IT.

Okay the birth control works, but like the other reviewers even after less than a month on Loryna--horrible breakouts, emotional mood swings, lowered sex drive, just do not feel like myself. Definitely going to have to spring the extra cash to go back to the Yaz brand name. I know in theory generic brands are supposed to be the same thing, but they just simply aren't.
