Rigevidon Not Going Well 😅

Diana

This pill keeps popping up but I'm going to bring it up again. I was prescribed this and started taking it two weeks ago and it's already gotten so bad, I think I'm going to come off it straightaway. First of all as soon as I started taking it, I felt super nauseaous after I took it, the second day I threw up in the middle of the night, and it hasn't really gotten much better so far.

Then during the past week, my mental health has taken a turn for the absolute worse. I've been crying all week over nearly nothing. I've been so anxious and paranoid about really little things I can't even explain. I've been having random panick attacks about very small things and I can barely get out of bed in the morning. I've been so down and unmotivated I can't even bring myself to keep taking the pill because I know how bad it makes me feel. Especially since I'm usually a really bubbly and happy person save for a few off days and occasional stress but nothing nearly this bad.

I guess I was wondering if anyone else has gone through the same thing and if there's any risks to going off the pill before finishing the packet. Also, if there's another method of contraception I could try without these side effects that are affecting me so much. I was already pretty skeptical of hormonal contraception and this has made me feel even worse about it, I was considering trying the copper IUD, so I guess any opinions on that as well?
