I’m not on Slynd, but I am on Drovelis, which also has drospirenone as a progestin. Mood wise, for me (very progesterone intolerant), it is much better, although it’s not that I’m not moody at all, because I am (still getting used to it). I’m definitely not depressed though, more a bit pms type moody and that might just go away (only 3 weeks in).
I do have a lot of side effects from the diuretic properties and if those don’t get lighter, I’m going to switch to another progestin (dienogest).
I feel I do respond much better to drospirenone than to the other progestagens I’ve tried, so it’s a pity about the side effects. Not everyone has side effects from the diuretic properties, so don’t worry about that. I did have a headache and some neck pains (and cramping, but I’m still in peri, so that has probably more to do with suppressing my cycle) that are getting better now (still not completely gone, but enough to believe they will in a few more weeks).
