    Works as intended. I have no had any bad side effects and have had light cramping during periods. At first I experienced a bit of vaginal dryness but after about 3-4 months this went away. My acne has cleared out and i only get small pimples every now and then. Noticed a little bit of weight gain.

    This is by far the WORST birth control I’ve ever been on. My doctor switched me to this Pill because it has lower hormones....What a mistake! I’ve been on it for a month and have had Stabbing headaches, major stomach cramps, acne on my face, chest and back!

    I got painful, swollen, cystic acne on multiple parts of my face when I used Larissia. I also got canker sores on my gums/roof of my mouth. My face was very uncomfortable for the two months when I was trying Larissia. I will never take it again.

    Although this birth control is effective and has not caused weight gain/facial acne, i have been getting breakouts and bumps on the anterior parts of my body. I'm getting small to medium sized bumps (breakouts, but feel like a minor bug bite) that are painful and wouldn't want anyone to experience. Overall for individuals who are looking for certain birth controls, do your research

    Previously taking lo loestrin i changed to larissia because the generic brands are free with my insurance. Only side effect was vaginal dryness. This caused extremely painful sex and has not been relieved since i started this medication. Deciding to change back to lo loestrin with which i had no side effects.
