hi
I just wanted to share my experience over the last few weeks, something happened in my life to cause me serious anxiety and the doctor diagnosed me with depression and prescribed me anti-depressants which I'm glad I never took.
2 weeks ago I was in tears every day and having horrible thoughts about suicide and also harming my 2 year old, my doctor just gave me anti-depressants and there has been no check in or follow up even though what I was experiencing was severe and terrifying.
I drove myself mad trying to find out what was wrong with me and why it was happening then 4 days ago my boyfriend said he thinks its the pill thats made me feel like this. I did some research which backed up his claim and decided to stop taking it and I'm so glad I did the next day I woke up so much happier, its been 4 days now and no anxiety, no depression and no scary thoughts.
If anyone is struggling with depression/anxiety and you are on the mini pill ( I was on cerelle) please consider stopping taking it as it has actually gave me my life back after just 4 short days. There are other methods of contraception and doctors never tell you how serious the side effects can be on the pill.
Just thought this may help someone
