I went on the combined pill at 16 and came off it at 21 for 12 months after research came out linking it to depression. My depression was SO much worse OFF the pill that I went back on it and have stayed on it ever since. I have since been diagnosed with PMDD, I think the combined pill gets a really negative reputation, but for me, it has made me periods lighter, stabilised my mood, and I don't think I'd ever want anything else!

I have been using this pill for almost a year. In this time I have experienced a negative impact on my mood and I have also completely lost my sex drive. My periods are lighter but have gotten breakthrough bleeding and spotting. I have also experienced migraines which is something I’ve not had before. I’m now looking for alternative options

I took this pill for more than a year and I have stopped A few months ago. When I first started I had very bad nausea and vomiting, I had bad mood swings and somehow made me very, very emotional. Apart from that, kept my periods regular and somewhat less heavy and painful apart from the last few months where it has been painful and heavy again. Stopped it now due to manufacturing issues.
