My GP has just taken me off cerazette for a month to see if it was the pill that as causing all my stress, anxiety and depression I can most definitely say it was as I feel like a new person!

However are there any pills she could prescribe me for my endo without these nasty depressive side effects ??

Sorry you have been feeling like this. I was given Levest, I took 3 single pills and had 5 days in bed with suicidal thoughts. Needless to say I am very reluctant to try any other hormone altering treatments and am looking at my diet etc to see if that will help x
