Hi everyone
I'm so glad i've found this forum! I hope that some kind soul can offer some advice because i'm in a bit of a spot.
I'm 45 and perimenopausal. I've been given Ellesette Duet 1mg and i've just finished my first months pack. It took me a while to make the connection but the white tablets are making me feel DREADFUL. I've been feeling suicidal, I have NO motivation to do anything whatsoever, I feel like i've got constant raging PMT. It's awful. I didn't make the connection with the tablets at first and thought that perhaps I was becoming depressed as i've suffered from depression before. I did however, think it odd that it just seemed to come on like a switch had been turned on. When I got to the green tablets it lifted and I felt back to myself again. Just like that.
I've just started the second pack, I'm on day two and right on cue, my mood has dipped and I have NO motivation again. I feel dreadful already and it's only day two. I am a Mum of two and I have Fibromyalgia so I already have enough on my plate without adding this to the mix!
My question is, should I stick it out for the three months I've been given and see if it settles down OR is it apparent that it doesn't suit me and can I stop taking it straight away as i've only been on it a month?
Thanks in advance xxx
