Cerazette - the last five days have been horrendous.

Started Cerazette last Friday and from the second day of taking it I have had the most horrendous mood swings. Have been impatient with my DH and DC and basically just felt like c*ap in myself. Really sad, emotional and out of touch with things. Although it has only been five days I did not take it yesterday and already today feel back to myself. I know that I should probably press on and side effects may disappear but what if they don t? Spent much of my twenties being depressed and this felt just like that when I was at my worst.

Has anyone else had this experience? I specifically told the doctor that I had been depressed and suffered terrible PMT. The last pill I was on actually stopped all PMT and I felt great on it but can not take it any more as I get migraines and am over 35. I am really surprised that it took such a short time for me to feel so low.

Stick with it. I've been on Cerazette for about 3yrs - it did take me a good few weeks to get used to it and yes it made me moody, I had irregular bleeds but eventually it sorts itself out. I have not had a period since being on cerazette (which is why I had it prescribed because I had the most awful periods after dd2 was born) and I have no PMT or mood swings - or atleast no moody moments I can associate with the pill.

I know of someone else who has recently started with cerazette and they had similar problems as you and have also suffered with depression and PMT - she stuck with it and is fine now after a few weeks.

5 days really isn't long enough - good luck with whatever you decide. x
