so what do you think of the pill cerazette ?

[candyfluff]

have been on this on and off for 6 yrs and have heard alot of bad stuff about it
am considering changing my pill because im wondering if there is any connection to it and the depression i suffer from.
what are your veiws

I was on Cerazette & found it definitely had an adverse effect on my state of mind. Admittedly I am prone to bouts of depression but I felt worse whilst on Cerazette & feel a lot more balanced off it. You might find another pill suits you better & there's certainly no harm in trying something else to see if it makes a difference.

thanks claire i do know that i started to get depression around the same time i started these -just a thought am gonna check with the nurse when i go next

I was on this pill for a number of months and I became very depressed and anxious, totally unlike myself. I was wondering why I felt so low and read the side effects as it was the only medication I was taking, and one was mood swings. I saw my doctor about it, and he said he hadn't heard of anyone else being affected by it in this way. I took myself off it and felt better very soon after.

it's possible, as progestogen can exacerbate depression. I had enormous problems with depression just before my period when on micronor, another progestogen only pill, but have been OK on cerazette moodwise.

my moods have been fine on cerazette and I have been on it for over a year

I am on cerazette and have been for some time. The only problem I have blamed it for is a bit of hairloss from time to time -only a little bit always at the front of my head which can be very obvious. I never knew that there was negative feelings about cerazette - what were they. I was put on it because I suffered with bad PMT. I do have down days but never thought it could be the pill, have been through difficult times in the last few years and put it down to that. Hope you find out what is best for you - this is a good place to start.
