I had to change to this pill from the combined pill because I was getting migraines, but I prefer the combined pill a lot more. The mini pill has impacted my mental health quite negatively so far, caused me to have regular, intense headaches, and it has given me acne

My pharmacist switched me from Cerelle to this pill. I now have terrible spots all over my forehead and get painful headaches and stomach cramps.

I had been on contraception for 10 years, my first was the implant and that was brilliant until the second one, then it caused lots of irregular periods and spotting. I then went onto regividon and it made me so emotional and depressed. I then after a year of that went onto the desomono and again, especially before my period was due (even tho I didn’t get one) I was so depressed and anxious. I’ve been off contraception now for a year and I am a different person.
Very negative mood
