I just went to the drug store to pick up my pills and they infrormed me that they will no long be carrying Apri and that I will be given Solia. I've had a good experiece on Apri and was wondering if anyone could give me their opinion on Solia good/bad. Thanks!

hey I just got my solia perscription, My doctor perscribed Apri but the pharmacy gave me solia insted. I haven't started it yet, I've never been on birth control pills before, I was just wondering how you like solia so far? I'll post back when I can give my opinion but for now Im just hoping for good results.

Hey Cakie,

I actually don't start the Solia till my next period. I have an extra month of pills incase I need to skip a period. I figured if I'm switching pills, I better finish up all the Apri first.

From what I've found, it's the same pill as Apri (ingredient wise) so I'm hoping that it will be similar experience wise. I switched from Aleese a few years ago to Apri. It was a similar experience, but my period came much later in the week with the Apri, so I was at my heavest on the weekends. I'm hoping that the new pill will correct that, or at least come by Wednesday so it won't be heavy on the weekend. :eek:

I'm not sure about this but I think Solia is a pretty low hormone pill and I never had any ill side effects, although everyone is different. I wish you a good expereince on the pill, it's nice to know when your period is coming! I'll check back for your comments and post mine as well.

I wonder if Apri isn't being produced anymore since the same thing happend to you at the pharmacy?

Cakies,

I started the Solia this past Sunday, and I haven't noticed any difference from the Apri - so I guess they are alike. I won't know for sure until it's past the month date, but I wanted to update you.

Glad the nausia went away. How is your skin fairing?
