I've taken Visanne for 1 year, and the only side effect I experienced was sun sensitivity. My face would feel hot 10 minutes being in the sun without sunscreen. I like not having period & menstruation for months, but if I miss a dose, even by a few hours, a very light period will resume in a few weeks.
Since Visanne is not officially available in the US thus not covered by insurance, I'd been buying them in bulk overseas. Now I have switched back to EstroSense.

Hi everyone. So after just over 4 years on visanne, I'm officially discontinuing it today as I finally had a mirena inserted. My unexplained ulcers have still not healed after over two years, so stopping the visanne is the last thing to cross off the list of possible causes. I'm nervous/anxious but also excited. Visanne was incredible. Life changing. If it weren't for the ulcers I would have continued on it forever! ... So I'm nervous about how stopping it will affect my body and my endo. But after two years of fighting stomach ulcers (and Graves' disease) I'm excited about the possibility that this could be the beginning of the end of this nightmare. I just want to be well. At 31 it's getting very draining to deal with these "unseen" illnesses alone. I don't want to have to put on a fake smile anymore. I want to wear a real pain free one!
I'll update about the transition from visanne to mirena as anything interesting or significant happens. Now I'm going to go browse the mirena threads.
Hope everyone is doing well. 💐

Hi ladies! I'm new here... I've been reading your stories though. It was a big part of me deciding on taking Visanne. I have stage 4 Endo, diagnosed about 10 years ago. I have been on Visanne for 4 weeks now and have been getting insomnia, acne, crazy emotions, and recently headaches. I know that a lot of people complained about weight gain... How long before that started? At this point about 20 pounds underweight 😞 I just keep losing weight and I don't know what to do. How long did it take for most people to get used to the drug? Did side effects get better? Thanks ladies!
