When my usual Sprintec was out of stock at my pharmacy, they dispensed Mono-Linyah. I've only tried it for one cycle, but I already notice some improvements. For instance, I would always spot like crazy on Sprintec but haven't yet on Mono-Linyah. I also feel less moody with no crying fits like I get on Sprintec.

I am pretty sensitive to birth control so it is common for me to have side effects. I was on Sprintec with little to no problems but the pharmacy gave me mono-linyah last month. In one month my acne has flared up, my appetite has increased, I've gained about 5-7 pounds, and I feel extremely bloated and fatiqued. Everyones body reacts differently to birth controls but this is just a warning that th...

THE REVIEWS FROM PEOPLE WHO HAVE ONLY TAKEN IT FOR 2 MONTHS ARE NOT VALID. I have taken it for two years and am pleased with results. I had cysts on my ovaries that would flare up whenever I was on my period. I got put on birth control pills from the same company that produces Mono-linyah. The pills look the same, but they keep changing the name of it. It was Falmina before it was Mono-Linyah. It has worked very well because I have not had any major cysts since being on this. The other reviewers do not seem to understand that it takes at least 6 packs of pills to be 100% great. I do have a few breakouts now and then, but that could just be normal for me.

Mono-Linyah messed with my body so much in the short month I was on it! I was moody, nauseous, had acne like a 13 year old & bled for over two weeks upon first starting it. I would NOT recommend this to anyone!

HORRIBLE!!!! Worse Birth Control yet! Have been on for three months and am extremely nauseous and moody. Hopefully the next one will be better for me, because this one seriously messed with my body/hormones. Wouldn't recommend to my worst enemy.

I have been taking this medication for two and a half months now and I experience serious nausea everyday. Other side effects I have had are serious breakouts and severe mood swings. This is not worth it for me.

I've been on this drug for about 5 years and been having mood swings the week before my period. But worse a few weeks ago ended up in ER with bad back and stomach pain turned out to be pancreatitis and ER doc said he linked it to my birth control med (after he looked it up as a side effect)because I am not a drinker and no other cause. Now am trying to find another med I can switch to but seriously all these meds are so bad for you...ugh! I mean I knew they weren't great but the side effects....I think I need a new plan...

I've only been on this medication a month. I haven't started my period yet but when I first started it I used it to skip my period due to vacation and I never had any break through bleeding at all. I haven't had any mood swings, or decrease in sex drive.. if any, its gotten better. I love this birth control so far. Also my acne has been clearing up a lot. :)

I was switched to mono-linyah from Sprintec just a couple of months ago because of a change within availability at the pharmacy. I havent noticed any majjor side effects except for my skin. I have had a lot of acne breakouts since I have been taking this. Not sure if that is a common side effect of this but I didnt have acne with the Sprintec.

Another great thing is my libido has increased a lot, and while I haven't had any issues with vaginal dryness, my self-lubricating mechanism seems to work even more during appropriate times. I'd love to stay on the Mono-Linyah, but now they're out of it so I got Previfem this time. I hope it doesn't reverse all the nice things Mono-Linyah has done for me... lol.Read More Read Less
