So I’ve been on rigevidon for about a month and a half now and have noticed a change in my mood. I feel like I am sad a lot of the time and have become a lot more argumentative, especially with my boyfriend. I know this is a common symptom of being on the combined pill so I was wondering if it would be better for me to stick out the 3 months worth of pills prescribed by my doctor or go back to my doctor early and change my pill?

The adjustment phase is 3-6 months so you should wait that out. It’s better to just take your time in replying if you realise you feel heated and communicate this to your partner. I think it’s much more useful to grab control of your emotions as switching to a different pill does not guarantee it will help. You’d also start the adjustment phase all over again.

wait 3 months for your body to adjust as your hormones will be all over the place if you have just started which can result in those side effects if after that time you still have side effects talk to your doctor about changing to a differebt type of pill
