Hello
Loooong story short - I had DD 4 years ago, and about 6 months later I was prescribed Cerazette as best match for me (long history of migraines). Gave it a very good shot of about 2 years. Felt miserable, sad, tearful and 'flat' (I cannot point the finger directly at it as I probably had undiagnosed PND but the 'flatness' was something else). Gave it up a year ago and started charting and using condoms.
At the moment though, my biggest hormonal problem is my PMS - spectacular rages and general murderous moods, a bit like a big and angry toddler . So much so, that I went back to the doctors, and she suggested:
- Antidepressants, which I am extremely reluctant to try. I am irrationally scared that I won't be able to function without them ever again. And I mean scared witless.
- The pill and the best candidate for me is.... Cerazette . My heart sank when I heard this. Doctor suggested I gave it a go as my body/hormonal balance will have changed since the months after having DD.
I decided to give it a go. Have been on it for a moth now. This week I have been specially tearful, feeling totally disinterested in most things and just wanting to withdraw. But like the last time, I cannot disentangle this from the fact that this month has been very, very hard (illness, travel-related stress, family-related stress, work-related stress and the threat of unemployment).
So my question is, has anybody given Cerazette a second go after an unsuccessful/horrid first time, and found it was actually fine the second time around?? Dr reckons 3 months is a fair trial period, but if the last two days are anything to go by, I doubt I can keep it up .
Pat yourselves in the back if you got this far!
