Rigevidon Pill Safe

Hi guys, I’ve recently got out on birth control and have been taking rigevidon. Safe to say I have pretty bad health anxiety and the amount of news articles I’ve read about girls dying from blood clots, having strokes, depression has really really worried me. I don’t want to stop taking it because I’m only just a week in but is it really a bad pill? Should I change?
Best thing to do is try it out for a month or two, and see if it makes you feel anything different to usual - if it does, it's best to come off of it. I've had two friends stop taking it recently because it made their moods considerably worse, but from what I've read, this is relatively uncommon.

In terms of blood clots, the risk overall is still extremely low, even if it's slightly higher than average. It's mostly a problem to worry about if you already have blood-related conditions.

I hope this helps!
