I just started taking it last week, and i don't know if i am being paranoid, but every evening i now fall asleep on the sofa and i can't stop eating. I have just had a marathon toast eating session (which is not like me). I haven't taken the pill in nearly 2 years, so i know there will be some adjustment, but just wondered what other people's experiences were on it?

All pills can cause weight gain, but im not sure if thats because it increases your appetite

Although your lucky if it makes you all chilled and sleepy, I was a right raving loon on it

Haha i think i am feeling a little 'tetchy' too (although if my DH was more considerate at times that would help!). But yeah now i am fighting to stay awake!

I agree about the weight gain due to change in appetite. I have found it easier to keep weight off whilst not on the pill.

Basically i think i have early pregnancy symptoms, great! x x x

i was on it and it was worst pill ever for me

i started gettin headaches constantly ended up having to get brain scans n stuff cos they thought something serious was causing the headaches after tons of tests and nothing bein found they discovered it was the cilest pill id been put on!!

dont recall puttin on any weight tho i was only on it a few months but felt awful the whole time i was on itt

Umm, that's encouraging then! When i typed Cilest into google it just came up with women completely slating it! I used to be on Microgynon, so maybe i will just go back to that as hadn't really suffered any issues with that one.

If there was one that suited you, I would defo stick to that one! Its so hard to find a pill that works for you......but then again me and the pill dont work together, full stop!

I seriously wouldnt have a marriage ......

I don't remember gaining weight on it but do remember another side effect of it!! That one for me was pregnancy!! I didn't have anything that could have stopped it working like tummy upset etc! Also a mate of mine got pregnant on it! Xx

haha i went totally mental on it too really awful mood swings - i couldn't see the tunnel nevermind the light at the end of it! But, i had changed to it because i had suddenly started being the same with microgynon after 10 years on/off being fine with it so i wonder if my body just was telling me to have a baby
