Actually in my case it wasn't Microgynon.
At the advice of Stalker Girl, who has been on every pill going (for all the sex she wasn't having... oh sorry, she was polycystic one minute and had endometriosis the next), I was put on Dianette for acne. That pill is EVIL EVIL EVIL. I wanted to eat everything in sight, then there were the aforementioned late-night crying sessions, and it took me nine months to get over the end of a relationship that should have taken no more than a month to get past (this was twunt ex with child, I was well shot of him).

Oh, and the psychosomatic effects of reading the leaflet of all the side effects you can possibly have. Cue leg pains in the small hours along with the crying and mass hysteria, plus dismissive GP.
