Hi all, has anyone been on visanne/dienogest and had hair loss? If so did it stop after 3months? The patient leaflet says side effects can reduce after 3months but I'm 3.5 months in and still shedding. I'm worried if I can on with the medication the hair loss will get worse. I can see my scalp already 😭
I was on Visanne for four years, and I no longer have pain because the medication completely stops my period. the side effects that occur are bloating and insulin resistant, and in the beginning for medications I had mood swings and hyperpigmentation on my face. so after 4 years, I want to change my meds to contraceptive pills Yasmine that contains drospirenone and ethinylestradiol, I read on research journal that these hormones are effective for endometriosis without causing weight gain and insulin resistant. If you think Visanne doesn't suit you, you can try to find alternative hormone meds with drospirenone and ethinylestradiol. I read here that some members also got Orilissa meds.
Yes, the entire back of my head looked like I shaved it. Plus when you are sick and lose nutrients, it really puts stress on the body.
Good luck
