Members shared mixed experiences with Visanne for endometriosis, with some finding symptom relief and improved quality of life while others encountered challenging side effects that led them to stop the medication. Several members described emotional volatility, breakthrough bleeding, acne, gastrointestinal issues, sleep problems, and persistent pain despite treatment, with many noting they were taking it as a temporary measure before surgery. A recurring theme was the deeply personal nature of hormonal treatment responses, with members encouraging each other to weigh their own pros and cons, listen to their bodies, and advocate for what feels right given their individual histories and tolerance levels.

I've been on it for a couple of months now with no side-effects. Symptoms have improved slightly but I have also drastically changed my diet. I also have a coworker on it that swears her quality of life has drastically improved.

I've been on it for 2 years. Really helped with few side effects but now sadly the endo seems to be coming back.

I am the same- could not do birth control/ or Minerva IUD nor hormone therapy ... So I thinks I am part of the 1 % - I can t even take antibiotics without being really sick:(

I haven't but have heard questionable things about it. Good luck if you try it.
