What Causes Low Moods, Crying Without Reason, Lethargic After Taking Gedarel 20/150?
Hello, I have recently started taking gedarel 20/150 and since then have noticed I ve had very low moods, crying for days at a time (for no reason) an have been feeling very larthargic. I m not sure if it has anything to do with the pill or if I m just being a moody teenager. What do you think? And what other form of contraception do you advise for low moods?

Hello,
Gedarel contains two female hormones similar to estrogen and progesterone and it is well-recognized that mood changes may happen with contraception use.
You may try low dose or ultra low dose contraceptive pills such as Yaz, Lo LoEstrin Fe, Mircette, Ortho-Tri-Cyclen Lo, etc.
I hope this answers your query.
I remain at your disposal for further medical assistance.
