This is interesting...
I found that only Yasmin stopped me from being an emotional wreck before my week off/period. I would have a sudden moody moment the night before the bleeding began but that was it.
Desogen/Marvelon made me crazy the whole 3rd week and the break wasnt much better, but I did quite like that pill.
Diane 35/Dianette made me suicidal...
Now I am Ortho-Cyclen, which is higher than Desogen and Yasmin (35mg instead of 30), but feel absolutely fine so far.
I would like to point out that some of us are actually more sensitive to the progestogen effects, which include moods and depression. I think I am one of those perhaps. I tried Cerazette (desogestrel 75mg mini pill) and felt awfully moody and rubbish, yet when there's oestrogen added (Desogen), I can cope!
It takes a while to find a pill that suits you best, but I would rather put up with a few side effects than let my body run riot! lol! |
