For those who haven't stuck with the first pill you've been on, how long did you stay with the first one before you tried the next one.
Was on Dianette, came off that when had what they thought was a severe Migraine, my very helpful GP at uni then put me on Cerazette which is a mini pill. Came of that while I was ill and having operations etc and generally on so many drugs all non essential ones went out the window.
No longer taking hundreds of antibiotics and painkillers and starting to feel a lot better, so want to go back to the pill. My home GP has given me Microgynon which does nothing to help my skin and argueably makes it worse, so wondering how long he'd expect me to give it to settle down before trying something else.
