Overall had a very negative experience, especially with my mental health. I had severe anxiety. It works for lots of women, but not for everyone.

I’ve got prescribed drovelis because I have irregular periods and my acne got extremely worse during the last 3 months. I’m now at the end of my second dose of drovelis and unfortunately my skin hasn’t recovered or got better yet. Actually I think it is quite worse and painful. Although the pill didn’t change my lifestyle and my period are regular now. I hope someone who had really bad acne to come forward with their experience because I’m starting to lose hope.

I unfortunately had to stop taking this after the 3 month period because of the amount of bleeding I was experiencing. Long periods and constant breakthrough bleeding throughout the month. Also had consistent headaches. Unsure if this was caused by the contracpetion but that was the main side effect I experienced.
