A MyEndometriosisTeam Member asked a question 💭

Question:

I’ve been on Visanne for almost 2 months. The 1st month was fine but then I started getting crippling anxiety. My life is on hold as a result. How long should I wait before i judge Visanne?

Background info: I have GAD (generalized anxiety disorder) and I’ve been doing talk therapy before I started Visanne to prepare me. The first month the side effects were manageable and I was fine.

Hi there, I was on visanne 3 months before quiting - I am so so so sick and it has almost been 1 year since leaving the medication (but still I am doing better than when on it). Recently found due to this meds my adrenals “crashed” so i do not think your problems with visanne is short lived - even when you leave it now you might sit with the exact same symptoms for quite some time.

Hope this helps

I have GAD as well. I am on Lexapro for GAD & Orilissa for Endo. Maybe you need a SSRI to balance out your serotonin levels? Lexapro has been life-changing for me and my anxiety/depression.

Sending you healing vibes. I know how hard it can be.

Hi Nermine

Sorry to hear about that and praying for strength for you.

I would really advise speaking to your doctor to see if he can recommend something else. Tell him how you are feeling. If he or she thinks you shouldn't change just yet, they will let you know.

All the best
