Desogestrel progesterone only pill... mood/anxiety

Hi ladies,

Looking for advice. For years I was on the coil. It was great at the time as it had no side affects I felt normal and had very light periods... when they came. However I started getting thrush every month at the time of my period so I got the coil taken out.

I was put on desogestrel pill which is a progesterone only pill as when I was younger the mixed pill didn’t work for me the hormones made me edgie.

I’ve been taking this pill for a few months and it’s been fine other than I still get periods sometimes bleeding in between..

But then a few weeks ago I noticed I was waking up feeling highly strung/anxious for nothing so weird!!! My head feels like it’s in the clouds. My life’s great so this has come out of nowhere!!!! I’ve been reading up and a lot of woman are saying the progesterone only pill is worse for mood changes.

Has anyone else experienced this?? I’m thinking I should have seen this coming with the pill and I should stop taking it!! Fml lol
