I remember being on this drug in high school when I first started taking birth control and it gave me hair loss but no other problems. My pharmacy randomly switched me to Portia a few years later and I had no problems whatsoever with that drug.

I remember being on this drug in high school when I first started taking birth control and it gave me hair loss but no other problems. My pharmacy randomly switched me to Portia a few years later and I had no problems whatsoever with that drug. Last week, the pharmacy switched me back to Levora again and I have already had to stop taking it six days later. I couldn't sleep and woke up barfing the first night after I took it, have been bloated and constipated every day, and was sent home from work because I was dizzy, light-headed, and barfing again last night. Worst drug ever. They say it's the same as Portia, but believe me there is a difference. DO NOT let your pharmacy switch you randomly if you are satisfied with the drug you have been on!

I have been on Lavora for over a year now and it seems to do the trick. Im not pregnant and my acne has cleared up for the most part. I do think it has something to do with my depression and mood swings. I'm still deciding if I should switch but I'm a littler nervous that another pill will make me gain weight. I gained 11 pounds on lavora in the first 2 months, it could be from the fact that I was ... Show Full Comment

In Sep '11, at 16, I started on Reclipsen which caused mood swings, break outs, nausea and over all put me in a slump. I stopped taking it in December, to give my body a break. In January I went back on BC, this time with microgestin (a mini-pill). This worked well to regulate my cycle and lessen periods but apparently wasn't effective as I got pregnant in February and miscarried at 6 weeks. I hav ... Show Full Comment

This worked well to regulate my cycle and lessen periods but apparently wasn't effective as I got pregnant in February and miscarried at 6 weeks. I have now been on Levora since June (7 months), have been very sexually active and it has been completely effective both as contraception and everything else I want from a pill. It enhances my sex drive, complexion, and reduces my period time and amount. A great pill.

I've been taking the Korean version of Levora (called Minivlar 30 [????30]) and have overall been pleased with the results. I started taking but birth control and to regulate my periods (I've always been irregular). I do experience slight and occasional nausea (although it usually occurs about 6-7 hours AFTER taking the pill and only about twice a week), periodic headaches (usually one bad a month about a week before my period), and slight mood changes (I cry more easily now, but actually, I'm thankful because it was REALLY hard for me to cry before). My periods are more stable and lighter. Overall, VERY satisfied.
