Millinette 30/75 pill and dizziness

Great contraception at first. When I first started taking I did feel very depressed and did break out however no weight change or any other symptoms but after a few weeks i felt great and skin cleared as my body got used to it. About 1.5/2 years later I am experiencing extreme anxiety, panick attacks that can last hours, finding it hard to breathe doctors couldn’t tell me why, headaches with aura and bad migranes all day everyday, dizziness that has affected work and a week before period feel so depressed. Each time I have the period break my periods get heavier and more painful (used to have hardly any cramps) but has regulated my periods. Coming off for a break to remember what my normal self feels like and see if this is what is causing problems.

I went on this for better skin and because of heavy periods. My periods have stopped but I get bad headaches, skin has gotten worse but I will give it another few months to see improvements. Also I've been getting cramping in my leg and arms which is concerning me, I'm not sure if its a blood clot related issue but I have never experienced this until taking this birth control pill.

I was taking this pill for 8 years and came of it when I was 26 after moving in with my boyfriend and realised my mood swings and anger was so crazy. I decided to come off the pill to see if it would help improve my moods. Well.... Hello old me! Drastic mood change! I had a break for 2 years and in those 2 years I suffered every month with large ovarian cysts, non stop periods, heavy periods and extreme pelvic pain. I attended the drs ( and even got admitted to hospital with the pain. After that every month I was at my whits end phoning the Dr surgery for help. I was told the best option was to go back on OCP again. So 2 months ago desperate to sort out my extremely heavy periods and ovarian cyst pain i started OCP again... and here we are writing this review because it has affected my mood and behaviour again! To the point that on my “pill free” week I feel like normal again! This pill also gives me the WORST vaginal discharge and is extremely embarassing as i feel like I constantly have to be checking myself down there before sex ect! I never experienced this again when i came off it for 2 years! Constantly had thrush, migranes, loss of appetite but weight gain for some reason! Water retention, no sex drive, vertigo, honestly this list goes on and on. I’m now at the point were i would much rather deal with the heavy periods and pain from the ovarian cysts than deal with the pain this pill causes to your mind and soul. X
