Gedarel 20/150 pill and migraines

Horrendous. Really did not work for me with the anxiety it induced. Made me feel very sick and nauseous. Do not recommend for a first-timer on contraception. Switched to the Evra Patch and that has been a dream compared to this method.

This was prescribed by my local clinic, they gave me this for sexual protection as well as to "help my acne". However, instead, I experienced no change to my skin, yet extreme sadness, basically depression, where I wouldn't leave my room and completely locked myself away with a lack of motivation, basically panic attacks, I cried multiple times a day, everyday, constant mood swings with little meaning. I also experienced, breast growth, my periods stopped. I eventual was taken off this pill for experiencing migraines. This pill felt like hell, everyones bodies different but for me this was a big no.

First few months on the pill were not great, really bad breast pain and lower back pain however after 3-5 months it was barely noticeable. Have noticed recently however more weight gain and breast pain has come back as well as discharge from nipples. Also had my first migraine whilst on this pill, don't know if it was because of it or other reasons but maybe something to think about. Better than Rigevidon is all i can say.
