I've never had mental health issues but this pill has made me almost suicidal and made me act out in ways I never thought id behave like kind of erratic. Also made me gain 2 stone when I didn't think that would happen to me, not a good experience over the 3 years.

This was the first ever pill I went on. I was on it for around 18 months and I must add that I didn't notice any negative side effects for about 10 months, but that might be because it was my first pill experience. After 10 months I started noticing my skin getting worse every time I had my pill break. My sex drive suddenly depleted entirely, and I didn't even want to think about sex. My worst symptom by far was vaginal dryness. Sex started to become very painful and it caused severe itching- I'd be waking up in the middle of the night because I was so itchy. Sometimes it was even uncomfortable to walk. I assumed it was because I was shaving and waxing, yet only recently pieced it together that it was the pill and other users reported the exact same symptoms as me. I went to my GP and swapped to Lucette, so far there's no change- but it might take a while to get used to it.

I can’t find anywhere/anyone who experienced the same thing on this pill, but for some reason I feel so hot and sweaty all the time! I thought it was just how I am but I’m switching pills next week so will put it to the test. In the evening especially my body temperature is so high I feel like I have a fever. Very strange! Also the symptoms only came on for me after a year of using it, I didn’t have symptoms at the start but now I have barely any sex drive and this weird body temp thing.
