Smoker, Experiencing Anxiety, Depression And Nausea. Was On Microgynon Birth Control. Side Effects?

Hi, I'm Tatiana, 32 years old, i weight about 60 kilos and I'm 1.72 m tall. I don't have any particular health problems, just some little varicous veins that have been always checked and never been cause of any health issue. I smoke about 10 cigarettes per day, drink occasionally one or 2 days per week.
I was on Mycrogynon contraception pill for 3 years and never had any problem until i had to switch to Rigevidon on January. Since then i started to experience feelings of anxiety, depression and nausea. It wasn't anything too bad so i thought it was due to the stress of studying and working, although I' ve never had this kind of problems in my life. After taking my usual break from the pill for a couple of months, all these symptoms disappeared. Then about a week ago i went to the doctor for a new prescription of Rigevidon which i started about 5 days ago and since then i'm experiencing the same symptoms. So today i got to the conclusion that probably Rigevidon is not the right pill for me, although 2 doctors told me that is the same pill as mycrogynon. Today I also had a look on Internet in order to get more informations and found out that many women suffered from the same problems since they had to switch from Mycrogynon to Rigevidon. What is your opinion about the matterLui? Would it be possible to go back to Mycrogynon?

Hi,it makes no difference of the content, but some times the color of the pill may show effect on the gastric mucosa, or may cause allergy, some times there may be no cause detected for the incompatibility.If you want to continue the rigevidon you can use the antiulcerents along with it.
You can happily switch over to mycrogynon, after finishing the present pills. Thank you.
