This pill was prescribed to me to help with PMDD symptoms. After a week it caused me to begin having extremely severe panic attacks during which I couldn’t breathe and experienced worrying limb numbness. I didn’t sleep for a week and stopped taking it straight away. Worst experience of my life!

As this is a newish pill and one which is a bit more pricey and supposed to be good for people who struggle with hormones... I was really hoping this was going to be my new pill! Sadly I found this pill to really affect my mental health more than a lot of the others I have tried. I personally have tried many many of the combined pills will the hope to find something which firstly controls my periods a bit better, doesn't affect my mood, and doesn't affect my libido. With Zoely I got all the standard issues such as a lower bad back, and some light cramping... These things I can take or leave it's not the end of the world. As the hormones are different over the course of the month, I could 100% tell when the hormones were stronger. On those days I went into a very 'numb' emotional state, then a few days later I was emotionally upset and weirdly I had no reason why!

Although this was promoted to me as the lowest dose hormonal contraceptive pill it still had very real side effects which I disregarded for quite a while. The hormonal effect was enough to lighten my periods and acne, increase my breast size and appetite (and thus, weight) and so it also caused me years of intense progesterone-related fatigue and dulled my mood negatively. I know others who liked it and were happy with the more 'positive' side effects but worth being conscious of the hormonal effect even with a low dose pill
