Finally feel back to myself after stopping taking this pill. 

Taken for a few months however my sex drive and mood plummeted, making me feel awful for the months I was taking it. Stopped taking and it all returned back to normal.

I've had very minimal problems using this pill other than loss of sex drive (kind of what I started taking it for lol). Honestly though, it's been really easy sailing with this pill, lighter periods, helped my acne, no crazy side effects. It has a low dose of oestrogen so I think that helps. I will be switching back to this one once I'm finished with my new one.

I took this pill for two months, however, due to the bad skin eruption I had as a side effect, I decided to change it. My acne worsened within a week of starting taking this pill. I did not experience any other issue, other than some spotting in between periods and a couple of episodes of migraine during the pill break. Having PCOS and already acne-prone skin, I have been advised to swap from a pill containing Desogestrel to one with drospirenone.

Switched from Microgynon, took Mercilon for 2 months. After I switched, I got a yeast infection (that I treated with Canesten). I continued to have headaches on pill-free days. Once in a while, my anxiety got worse, I had off days. One time I thought I was having heart issues and I got an anxiety attack over it, called NHS, they told me to go to A&E. Turned out to be a strained sternum in the end but the anxiety I have been feeling the last 3-4 months after switching diff pill brands is not me. Decided to just go off the pill completely and seek non-hormonal birth control method. I was put on this for PCOS management, but it's just a bandaid and to be honest, the lower libido is not worth it for me either as I usually had high libido before. Going to try to be more in tune with my body.

Every month, I had terrible migraine and nausea 1-2 days before the onset of period. I gained 22 pounds without changing my eating and exercise habits. I had heart palpitations every day, especially 2-3 hours before it was time to take the pill.

Haveny had any problems with the pill, but have honestly not tried any alternatives. Worried about the link to depression though.

I've been on this since I was a teenager and think of it as ol' reliable. It's been good for my skin, hasn't changed my mood and has made periods a breeze. I do experience vaginal dryness, though. In combination with the reduced sex drive it causes, it can be quite frustrating!

The only side effect has been mood swings but they’re pretty minor, although i am more emotional overall. Has improved my skin and works really well at regulating and lightening my periods

My skin cleared up almost immediately but they dryness is still there and my period are back to being irregular.

Not a good fit for me, was put on mercilon as a lower dose alternative to microgynon but it made my skin erupt and had really bad vaginal dryness which subsequently caused outbreaks of cystitis, stopped taking it after 4 months. Now trying Maexini and hoping that works better.

I have been diagnosed with PMDD, so my gp suggested trying the pill. Mercilon is the 4th pill I have been on. All the pills I have tried have positively impacted on my mood +++  however I have struggled with fluid retention, larger and tender breasts ( we called them gravel tits for a while as they felt full of gravel) and headaches on my pill free weeks. Mercilon has been the best of the bunch, my periods and skin have been better, mood better. But still having dryness down there, reduced sex drive and some fluid retention... which I can live with for now, but I am looking forward to coming off it next year still to begin trying for a family!
