Combined pill and periods to stop

Honestly the best of all of the pills I’ve taken. However, after 18m on this I’m going to come off it and go back to natural cycles due to the following - loss of sex drive, constant and I mean constant headaches, generally feeling a bit ‘flat’ and tired all the time. I also have heavy limbs which is a weird side effect. That said, Zoely did not have any negative implications on my skin, weight, appetite and I don’t get mood swings- in fact I just feel a bit too flat overall so perhaps If mood swings are an issue it might suit you! But I’ve gone the other way

This pill was the first of three that I have used, and is without a doubt the worst. It made me cry about everything. The cleaners had moved my soap dish from one side of the sink to the other and I cried about it. My mood became so low that I distanced myself from my friends and started attending therapy. When I stopped taking the pill, my mood improved dramatically and I experienced far less anxiety. Was not a great time in my life. Thanks a lot Yasmin.

Went on this at 15 because I had very painful and heavy periods, which the pill stopped entirely. I had no physical side effects aside from the complete stop of periods however it did severely affect my mental health (I already have a history of mental health issues prior to going on this pill but it made them notably worse and I’ve noticed improvements after coming off it). I would notice that I’d get very suicidal and anxious a couple weeks before I was due to have a 4 day break from the pill and this would then go away after the 4 days, I also experienced feeling dazed and derealisation which has somewhat improved after coming off this pill. I came off the pill because I was scared of the blood clot risk that had not been properly explained to me by doctors, so be aware of this also.
