1 | Severe cystic acne | Yeast infection, fatigue, hair loss, no motivation, return of acne | This review is for Larin manufactured by Northstar. The estrogen content of this pill is too low. I doubt it has 20 mcg of estrogen. I’ve taken many brands of bc pills with 20 mcg and they do not give such side effects as these: yeast infection, severe fatigue, hair loss, feeling cold, body aches. All these symptoms immediately went away when I used my bioidentical estrogen gel that I have on hand. This addition of estrogen is what helped me get through those 4 months on Larin, otherwise I won't be able to function. After having years of clear skin with Yaz, my insurance no longer covers it, so my doctor switched me to Larin which was awful. My cystic acne returned and my face and scalp became very oily again. This is probably partly caused a rebound of acne from Yaz withdrawal. The good things I can say about Larin are that it diminished my sleep disturbance and low level irritability and anxiety that were caused by Yaz. | F | 44 | 4 months 20 mcg 1X day | 12/31/2021 | 1 | I needed a birth control | Yeast infection | I've been on the pill for 9 days and on day 7 my vaginal area began to itch. I didn't think anything of it because it's a side effect of the BC. Then I woke up this morning with a swollen vaginal area. Now I'm in pain with a yeast infection. Would NOT recommend. | F | 19 | 9 days 1 pill | 8/9/2017 |
