I'm nearing completion of my second month on Cerazette. Before going on them I read through the leaflet, as you do, checking out the doom and gloom side effects. Had a read of a few forums, some okay, some not so okay. I found a lady's blog who had noted her side affects as she went and I totally intended to do this but.. it didn't happen, so I'm playing catch up!
Keep in mind - first I am using these as a means to stop my period in hope of preventing Endometriosis growth, not for contreception. Also, I have seronegative APS, Raynauds Disease and various other bits so my medications for these may
Week 1 - The headaches! Goodness, they were pretty special and rather constant. Nothing that some paracetamol/neurophen couldn't help. Acceptable comprimise compared with potential impending chemical castration!
Week 1-4 Longest period, eek! Wasn't sure it was going to stop actually. I assume its meant to be..urgh, for want of a better word, draining you. Mild cramps, nothing special.
Week 2-6 - Nausea! Nothing on the scale of norovirus or allergic reaction. I guess you could call it constant motion sickness. It was often there in the background at most times. Unpleasant but not the worst thing in the world. Luckily either I don't notice it anymore or it has passed.
Aside from those two things I don't think I've had anything horrible that can specifically be linked in to the drug. I think I'm one of the lucky ones!
