I took Zoely for 2 months and a half, it was one of the worst experiences of my life. In the first month I had such a bad nausea that I couldn’t eat much anymore so I lost 7kg in around 1 month and a half and got me very bad pimples. What’s worse is the effect on my mental health. I’ve always been a positive person even if in my family there are cases of depression, with this I started to have it, having always negative thoughts, I could never see the positive in anything, and I spiraled in a very bad anxiety, making me think that everything was going for the worse so I was crying so often for very stupid things. I was also very irritable for nothing while usually I’m a very calm person. I wanted to get to three months to see if the symptoms could get better but when my boyfriend broke up with me because he could no longer stand my attitude I decided to quit it immediately and I wish I did it much sooner. It took me around 1 month and a half to feel a bit normal again, I would never recommend Zoely to anyone, taking it was one of the worst decisions of my life.

In general I am happy with this pill and I would not like to stop it (there are not many pills that I tolerate), the problem is that since the third box my hair has been falling out a lot, I don't know if it is because before I took Valette which has ethinyl estradiol which It is much more powerful, but it is starting to be overwhelming. I would like to know if anyone else has experienced this effect and if it goes away over time, I would appreciate it if you told me in the comments since I am quite worried.
