Took this for 3 months total and am now taking a break to see if there's any change in the side effects. Didn't notice major changes in mood or anything else, was very happy with it initially as I took it to have lighter and less painful periods, and it worked really well in this respect. However after a month or two I started to notice considerable vaginal dryness - it was uncomfortable, itchy and sensitive - in a bad way - day to day and made sex very painful even with lube. Don't really want to choose between painful periods and daily discomfort/painful sex but here I am.

Didn’t have many physiological side effects however I developed terrible brain fog / dissociation where I feel like I’m in a dream. It made me feel like a zombie (I still feel like this even after stopping) and made me a worse version of myself - anxious, angry and irritable. I can’t wait to feel like myself again

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
