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.
Somewhat negative mood

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.
