"some of the reviews here seem to be misleading. what works for some women, may cause horrible side effects for others. i&#039;ve tried a few different bc pills and even the depo-provera shot. my dr. suggested i switch to lyza because i was getting frequent migraines with the last pill i was on. i have not had a migraine since i switched to lyza! it&#039;s been over a year since i switched and i haven&#039;t experienced any weight gain, change in mood, etc. overall, i&#039;ve had a wonderful experience with this birth control. only downside is that my periods are inconsistent.. sometimes i will go a couple months w/o one. but i also don&#039;t take it at the same time every day (oops!)"
