I had HORRIBLE acne so finally went on this pill when I was 18, (22 now). Although my skin had cleared up dramatically within about 6 months, I took a break during lockdown and my skin had a big flare up so am now scared to come off it. I don’t have a high libido anymore and I feel numb a lot of the time.

My mental health deteriorated a lot. Contestant suicidal ideations and depression and anxiety. I was on this pill for over ten years and was told to come off it as it has strong side affects. I saw a massive shift in my mental health within a month of switching, however my acne flared up and my skin became very oily.

Cleared my chin acne up after years of trying all the face washes and skin routines I could find.Took a few months but skin has been completely clear for a few months now back to back (about a year in). Bloating and mild headaches are main side effects. Have had a more delicate stomach in terms of reacting to things/ bloating since being on it - never really had that before. Overall happy but I am worried about staying on it due to the clot risk - is having clear skin worth that risk?
