I switched to this after using Yasmine (no problems with that, I just wanted to try a lower-dose estrogen pill). In the first year, all seemed fine, regular light periods, no break-outs, fewer mood swings, but lately in the past 6 months, I noticed my mental health worsen, my ADHD symptoms became stronger, my depression and my anxiety crept higher, and my libido slowly went non-existent. Also, my breasts (or rather my nipples), which were usually only swollen/sore before the placebo tablets, became constantly sensitive in a bad way. Now I am looking for a different pill.

So I might just be allergic to the pill. I was given this as it's low dose and I've had strong reactions to everything else. I had an anxiety attack on the first day, then couldn't stop crying on the second so I stopped it quickly. I had started it because I was feeling really good so thought I could cope with the mood changes but they were so severe it scared me. I've then had a horrible period in the month after and back at square 1.

This pill worked very well for me for many years during adolescence (brand name Yasminelle in EU) and for the year that I turned thirty (brand name Eloine in UK). I had the Kyleena coil in the years in between for reasons of convenience. I had some spotting in the beginning but it was well worth the wait due to the benefits. It has helped me with managing symptoms of endometriosis for many years, and probably also masked them during adolescence. My doctor recommended me to skip the pill breaks which was great in reducing endometriosis pains and gave me back my energy to go about life and even workouts. Unfortunately, I had to switch methods out of precaution due to having experienced a few migraines with an aura.
