Mercilon pill - Combined Pill

This was is very first pill I’ve ever taken- and I will continue to use it for another while. I can’t recommend it enough. When I was researching it I could only see negative reviews everywhere, but this is not the case. The only real disadvantage is that I sweat a lot from it- like I could be freezing cold and I would start sweating (No smell, and mainly from my armpits and forehead). Sometimes on the day before my period I would wake up covered in sweat despite not being super hot/cold. It only bothers me when I’m at the end or beginning of a pack, otherwise my sweating is as it was before I took the pill (only when super hot or exercising). My periods are definitely lighter, and less painful. I am definitely more anxious and little things bother me much more than they used to (such as when my boyfriend forgets to make the bed or empty the dishwasher). But it’s easy to remind myself to calm down, and that it’s just the pill making me feel like that. I would recommend this pill to anyone, it’s convenient, it lets you skip your period and the side effects are very manageable.
