I took kariva for a number reasons. My doctor told me that it would regulate my periods, prevent the painful cramps I get during my monthly and she said that it would help improve my mild-moderate acne. In the first week of taking this pill I noticed done mild breast tenderness and my acne getting slightly worse. Into the second week I had cystic acne on my face,chest and back. I decided to never take birth control again after taking this medication. I feel there a better options to clear my acne. I not only had a bad breakout but I has terrible mood swings and insecurity. I would not recommend taking this pill. Stay Away!!!!

I just started kariva and i am always tired. A little excercise does the trick to wake me up. But I feel i have to work hard to not be tired. Idk if its the pill or not but we will see.

This pill was AMAZING. I was on it for three months, no spotting or breakthrough bleeding even if I forgot my pill, I gained a little weight the first month but it was only about 2 lbs and dropped it my next month. I was underweight so it didn't bother me, I didn't break out, my mood overall improved, no or very little cramps, nothing some midol couldn't fix. Which was why I went on the pill in the first place. My period came the same time every month and I went up about 1 cup size. The only reason I switched was because my mood swings on the placebo week were ridiculous but that's how I was before the pill so I don't think Kariva made me like that. Great pill, I highly recommend it! (:
