I’ve been on this for 2 1/2 months for perimenopause. My mood has been so bad I’ve had to have 2 weeks off work. I’m tired to the point even the smallest of things seem overwhelming. No sex drive whatsoever and unable to orgasm. I’m crying all the time and my poor husband doesn’t know what to do. The worst pill I’ve ever had.

I’m pleased with the lack of periods on this pill (despite the 4 day sugar pill break), and therefore the monthly pain from endometriosis. However, I have gained quite a lot of weight and often feel bloated, so I’m considering changing meds.

I was put on zoely to treat symptoms of perimenopause. It actually made my symptoms worse. I took it for 1 month and found I had more frequent night sweats and hot flashes, my mood felt unstable and erratic, insomnia was worse also. I constantly had spotting every day for the month and then no period. My exhaustion was even worse than it had been before starting it. I've stopped it now and feel better already after 6 days.
