Very helpful for my acne and confidence, but my mood noticeably changed to feeling numb quite often. I’ve felt very physically and mentally tired over the last 13 months, but can’t remember a time before then. Great at stopping my periods for 4 months, before I breakthrough bleed and take a break. When I do bleed, it is extremely heavy, but it is less painful.

I've never had mental health issues but this pill has made me almost suicidal and made me act out in ways I never thought id behave like kind of erratic. Also made me gain 2 stone when I didn't think that would happen to me, not a good experience over the 3 years.

My last pill was Ludeal Gé, generique of Minidril (France). Took it for around 4 years. Total loss of libido, progressive weight gain and impossibility to loose weight, quite hard PMS crumps and some mood alteration. Stopped taking it, don't want to get back to any combined pills.
