Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hi. I'm 33 and have a 3 year old and an 19 month old. I've been on gederal for about 5 months and i swear i'm getting side effects. I've gained weight even though exercise regularly and feel bloated majority of time. My mood swings i feel are getting out of control, i can be happy one moment then the next i'll be emotional, lash out, feel stressed or upset and really down. I've also started getting hot sweats especially at night time which can make me light headed. I've been on two other types of pills before this one as had depressive effects with those also. Doctor advised me he wont give implant or injection as chances are will suffer same side effects but said if this pill doesnt work, he wont even look at trying another one which upsets me as i need to use something due to getting really painful periods that make me sick. Doctor just puts side effects down to 'hormonal changes since having children' but surely there must be pills with different strengths of hormones to level them out? Help please!
