I went switched from Yaz because of bad spotting and started Alysena but after 2 and a half months I couldn’t take the acne anymore. My skin has never been so bad in my entire life like it’s seriously the worst I’ve ever felt about myself. I went back to Yaz a few days ago and I’m just wondering how long it’ll take for the horrible acne to stop and for my skin to go back to normal😢😢
The first pill I ever tried was Linessa, I found it absolutely awful but I stuck with it for years because I was nervous to switch. I had extreme acne and extreme weight gain and no matter how much I worked out it would just pack on. I also had extreme anxiety and suicidal thoughts. At 18-19 I switched to Mya and the first 7-8 months were fantastic. I had no acne, I lost a lot of weight and looked incredible, my hair grew super long and I just felt overall amazing. But after around fhat 7 month mark it went completely downhill. I was having like 3 periods a month, I had absolutely no libido, I felt like I was couch locked and couldn’t do anything else or even want to do anything else. My mood completely changed and I just felt like crap whenever I wasn’t taking the sugar pills. After a little less than a year and a half or so I finally switched and got on Alysena because I was told it was neutral and most people tolerate it well and don’t have many side effects. Month 1 was great, the only downside was I had a bit more acne than usual which I knew would happen when starting a new pill anyway. My appetite didn’t change, I didn’t gain weight, my libido came back strong and I felt good mood wise and also felt good about myself. But now I just finished month 2 and it did a complete 180 for me. I’ve always had bad anxiety but this feels like it spiked it by 100. I have no motivation, my self image has gone down tremendously, hair shedding, my appetite has increased and I’m just constantly eating no matter how much I tell myself not to get more junk food. I’ve gained 10 lbs in just these past 2-3 weeks alone and I just don’t feel feminine at all. The acne isn’t so bad but I have really oily skin now. Will these side effects change on the third and 4 month? I’d like to give it a chance before I switch again because I honestly really don’t want to and I’ve already tried 3 different pills. Will I ever go back to feeling normal and good in month 1 or will I forever feel like the opposite now😭😭😭 what’s everyone else’s experiences with Mya/Yaz and Alesse/Alysena??
