This might sound crazy but when I'm not sure what to do I like to make a pros vs cons list; try making one and see where visanne stands. The side effects might be worth the pain relief or they might not be, it's a really personal decision.

I was using visanne for about a month before I started having some eye problems, sensitivity to light and eye pain when reading which would lead to headaches. I was also very light headed, felt like I was going to pass out every time I stood up. 1 week after I stopped taking it those problems all went away but then I was back to endo pain again.

Thanks so much Snowflake!
Thanks also MarrieCivi ..

Actually I’m on visanne for a year and 3 months now. Endo pain is getting less, but doesn’t completely disappear. So, my doctor told me to take visanne till I complete 2 years to make the pain less than ever!
But visanne side effects are getting worse..
The endo pain is getting away of course. But these side effects of visanne are really affecting my life in a bad way.
I’m thinking of telling my doctor to stop visanne and live naturaly for some while before endo pain comes again...

What do tou think guys?
