At first it's was good for the first 8/10 months of using this pill. After the first year I noticed a dramatic difference in my mood and down there being sore quite often. Had cystitis twice and thrush was a pain to get rid of. Currently still taking it but I want to stop using this as it's done me no favours.

Experienced discomfort wearing contract lenses after switching to this pill. Optician hadn't heard of this side effect but it's right there on the pill packet. Came off it when my doctor told me this brand has gone out of fashion.

My third pill brand I'm trying. The first two were Rigevidon and Gedarel 20/150. I switched from Gedarel to Marvelon at my own request, because it seems to be better received due to its unique filler ingredient composition, and I was also getting spotting due to the low estrogen content. It definitely doesn't make me depressed like Rigevidon did, but there's a lot of issues, however subtle they are. I've done extensive research and read papers. This summarises it well: https://ideas.ted.com/how-the-birth-control-pill-affects-your-mood/ Every brand of the pill will affect your brain neurochemistry and adrenal glands/ stress response. For me, this one makes me irritable and mad at every little thing. It's like being permanently on PMS rage. I will absolutely call everyone an idiot, get mad at people around me for simply breathing in the wrong way, and start arguments over everything. I literally turn into Gordon Ramsay, if he had PMS...
