Junel - #29277
I am a bit frazzled and need some advice about Junel. For the past month, I’ve been taking Junel to help regulate my cycles since they’ve been all over the place. Before I started on Junel, my periods were really erratic—sometimes I wouldn't get one for two months, and then sometimes I’d have two in one month. Anyway, I've noticed some weird things happening since I started taking Junel. First off, the headaches are unreal! I mean, I’ve had headaches before, but this feels like a whole new level. It's also weird because my mood swings are like, all over, jumping from happy to annoyed in a blink. Could this be normal for someone using Junel? On top of that, I think I've gained a little weight, maybe it’s just my imagination or part of the Junel side effects? And I read that it can take a while for your body to adjust, but how long is “a while” really? I just don’t know if I should stick it out with Junel or talk to my doctor about switching to something else. Has anyone else experienced this? Like are these normal issues? I’d love to hear if you felt better after some time or if things just got worse with Junel.
