Experience

I was on the pill since the age of 15 with a couple of breaks in between. It made me a shadow of myself. I had 1 week of feeling normal during a month and spend the rest of the time feeling empty and numb, like I had no emotions. When I did start to feel again it was being anxious and weepy. I experienced vaginal dryness which lowered my sex drive as I found sex too painful. The best thing i ever did was stop taking it. I was like a new person.

Experience after taking

It was extremely positive. My mood totally changed. I felt happy and positive and even if I do have days where I feel down it’s nowhere near the extent I felt it when on the pill. The vaginal dryness went which made my sex drive increase as it was no longer painful for me to have sex. Best decision of my life
