Levest pill and nausea or vomiting

Pros: PMDD completely gone Didn't bleed for 3 months as didn't have a break and no spotting at all Felt happier in general Stabilised my moods Increased cup size-- went from a C to a DD in 2 months Cons: Breast tenderness and pain was horrific for the first 8 weeks Increased weight significantly in 3 months Completely lost sex drive and found sex disgusting Heart palpitations Constipation Constant hunger Heart burn that lasted for around 2 weeks on second pack If I could have stayed on this pill forever, I would have. Yes, there were side effects but they were nothing compared to the horrific time I go through every month of my cycle anyway. The only reason I stopped is because I have a condition called POTS, and it turns out oestrogen makes it worse! I was running packs back to back and I was so happy being able to have a stable mood and feel less depressed. But in the end the heart palpitations that were exascerbated by my condition were enough to make it worse. I did have weight gain on this pill as well, and having stopped 3 days ago, I've dropped almost half the weight I put on already, so I was definitely retaining a lot. All in all, yes there are side effects, but I'm more sad about having to stop it than I was about them in the first place.

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.
