Combined pill
I started taking Rigevidon to help with mood swings, bad cramps and heavy bleeding and it just made all of them worse. I was missing school on my period and had brain fog a lot of the time as well as having even worse mood swings to the point where there was no point continuing with it. I was prescribed it when I was 13/14 purely for the symptoms above and not offered any alternatives except for the pill
