Has anyone else experienced any thing like this????

    I've been on them for 7 months as I had no periods a all and was diagnosed with PCOS. Since them I've had a rocky few months to say the least I've been moody, no sex drive, anxiety, palpitations and the shakes. I'm now off them as the side effects are making me feel like I'm going mad but it's goingto take weeks for them to be out of my system and I had 5mg three times a day. How my husband has managed with living with me I dont know but thank god I'm not on my own! I've been to a and e thinking I've had a heart attack at one point at 32!!! Lol
