The first weeks were fine, after that i got mood swings for 3 weeks. I either felt absolutely nothing, or was annoyed, angry or sad. When the moodswings stopped, i started getting headaches everyday. I'm now noticing hairloss too. I've almost been 3 months on this pill and have been terribly bloated everyday. I am getting off this pill.
Very negative mood

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.

unfortunately caused severe negative effects on my mental health and quality of life. increased anxiety & depression (both were constant) and drastically reduced my confidence and body image. all symptoms intensified the week before a period was due - body image was so poor i wouldn't leave the house or wear anything other than baggy clothes, felt suicidal, cried over nothing, lost all motivation/drive, couldn't concentrate + poor short term memory, felt worthless, anhedonic, insomnia that was worst the few days before a bleed, and persistent fatigue & lethargy. i did try to stick it out as i assumed it was pre-existing conditions causing my symptoms, but they got progressively worse the longer i was on it. after i came off the pill i noticed pretty rapid improvement in my self confidence and overall mental health.
