Gederal side effects

So, it seems this pill is EVIL! I only took it for 7 days and have had nausea, bad cramps, greasy skin, spots and really sore boobs 😬. Plus awful brain fog to the point its actually embarrassing! My sense of smell is heightened to the point of most things smell awful.

Stopped taking it 2 days ago and my symptoms are the same, anyone know how long it will be untill in back to normal?

NEVER AGAIN will i put this crap in my body.

I have this with Microgynon! Currently on mont two but took the last active pill yesterday and really don’t think I will be doing pack three after this break. I don’t think I get on with fake hormones!!

Me neither hun, im only on it to stop my period for next month, think id rather just take meds to delay it instead. I will never take the pill again, all these symptoms from just seven days! Shows how strong it is. I was om microgynon when i was 16 it gave me headaches so they put me on noramin which gave me bouts of anxiety and depression. Not had anything for the last 5 years dont know what the hell i was thinking even trying it again!x

That’s like me!! I haven’t been on anything for about 7/8 years but was put on it to try and regulate my periods after pregnancy loss. But I have a lot of horrible symptoms at the moment and I’m sure the pill is responsible for some of them!

Im sorry for your loss, i had an early mc myself just over a year ago. Have you tried taking maca to regulate your cycle? Ive been on it for the last 4 years and my periods are on time because of it.

Cant beleive all the symptoms ive had with just 7 days of pills. If i hadnt had a period before i started them id think i was pregnant because thats how intense they are.

Ill never take any kind of bc ever again.

Hi Katie, you ok now?

How’s your pain?

I tried two different pills and came off both because of terrible reactions. Took a week for the symptoms to subside
