For Birth Control "Years ago, I was put on Apri and absolutely loved it. I had no side effects, and my periods were extremely light. I then switched insurances, and Apri was no longer covered by it. I was given Solia and told it was the generic version of Apri and that it was exactly the same. Never have I experienced such a horrible side effect like I did with this brand of birth control. The entire month I took this pill, I couldn't poop. I wasn't constipated, I tried everything from yogurt, fiber, lots of water, and laxatives, but it felt like my colon was swollen and wouldn't let anything pass. It was extremely painful, and I felt miserable. I went to a gyno who pretty much thought I was exaggerating and blamed my symptoms on something else because 'Solia and Apri are exactly the same.' I couldn't take it anymore, so I stopped them. After, I was able to poop normally again. This is my experience with Solia, it's different for everyone, but what I learned is that generic birth control brands are NOT the same."
