I swapped to Gedarel following a terrible experience with Levest and Rigevidon (acne and anxiety/low mood) after the discontinuation of Loestrin 30 and from the offset felt increased tightness in the womb and cramping on and off. Nausea was also something I struggled with whilst on it and once woke in the middle of the night to vomit because of it (maybe too high oestrogen for me?). Overall I'm a positive person but i definitely didn't feel like myself on this pill. Many dark thoughts towards months 4 onwards and a lot of anger, irritability and feeling hormonal/overly emotional. I really wanted this pill to work for me but sadly I've had to make the decision that it really doesn't suit me. I knew it wasn't right for me from the start but felt I should try it out of desperation. Felt depressed at times and anger/irritability was the main problem for me, also had some mental fogginess and general sadness and low mood. Only plus sides was better skin than on R&Le and strangely increased sex drive but most days I would feel unlike myself.
