Has anyone suffered with dizziness after starting minipill? (Desogesterol) three weeks in and had this side effect for a week!

Yes me too. I was on Zeletta for only 3 weeks and came off it after experiencing a host of awful side effects in that time including dizziness, extreme tiredness, severe drop in mood, constant spotting and bleeding and feeling incredibly angry and tearful.
I will not take it again.

Thank you so much for your reply! I’m so sorry you had a tough time with it too! I’ve been to the dr about it and they hey said could be side effect but not sure! I have tiredness too and mood is getting lower! I have endometriosis which has been very bad for last while so went on this to help with my iud that I had fitted eight months and those symptoms have eased off from the minipill but now I have this! I don’t know what to be doing and hoping it will just ease off so don’t have to stop taking it and my endometriosis symptoms will come back
