I have PMDD and took this medication with hopes it would make reduce or alleviate my physical and mental symptoms. I started taking cerazette and noticed I was very tired, so switched from taking it in the morning and took it at night time. I continued to be really tired and would need to nap almost every day even though I typically sleep for 8 hours or more a night. I noticed my mood become low, I felt numb and my libido was really low. I wanted to stop the pill at 1 month but pushed through but at 2 months I decided to stop as the fatigue and my low mood were interfering with my quality of life.

I was moved from Yasmin to Cerazette by my gp due to my blood pressure being affected. It's my second month and I hate it. I had no side effects from my other pill and was on it for 4 years. My periods used to last 4 days and were regular. Now I'm on day 12 of a very heavy and painful period. Even when I wasnt bleeding I was spotting. My skin has gotten worse, constantly oily and my hair is so greasy all the time. I used to be able to wash my hair once a week (curly), now I have to wash it 2 or 3 times a week due to build up of oils. I have also started losing a significant amount of hair Everytime I brush and wash it. I also lost all appetite and have lost almost 4kg. Also I've never struggled with body odor until now, no antiperspirant helps to prevent it and it's very embarrassing. My entire lower back and pelvis aches and I feel really depressed and fatigued.

Genuinely hate this pill. I have always experienced acne but rarely on my body until now. My back chest and shoulders are covered. I have had bleeding about 2 times a month with no changes to the pain scale. I have gained a bit of weight. Where on the last pill I was on I had lost some. Which certainly effected my already down mood. Just is not working for me.
