I feel so much better after reading the other reviews. I was on Gianvi for a couple months with no problem then corporate wanted to save money and made us start ordering Loryna. Now I feel so depressed, and my menses was 10 days late which freaked me out. NEVER AGAIN will I take this med.

I have been on the pill for 6 months and during these 6 months i've sunk into this hole of depression, have not been motivated to do anything, have been distant from my friends and family. i have psychologically been not okay. I stopped taking this pill and do not recommend it to anybody.

Horrible, horrible drug. I've been anxious to the point of having an anxiety attack and snapping at people for almost no reason. I am usually extremely relaxed and happy, but I can't even see myself being around another human being right now. I also have horrible acne all over my face after about two years of nice clear skin. I did not have acne this bad when I was a young teen. I'm pretty sure I' ... Show Full Comment

I did not have acne this bad when I was a young teen. I'm pretty sure I've gained weight too. Like the others, I was on gianvi for years. Don't switch over.

I know for a fact the weight would have just continued to pile on bc I was SO HUNGRY!!!! I was so relieved to find that when I switched back to brand Yaz I felt like myself again. Its worth the extra money not to feel fat & insane on Loryna.

I too was on Gianvi and my pharmacy switched me. I have gained 12 lbs in the past 2 months, had bad cramps, and recently I've been having uncontrollable constant back pain. Not sure if its just related weight gain or what.
