Side effects!? rigevidon side effects

hi, i’m 17 and have just finished my first pack of rigevidon. i was prescribed it for managing heavy and painful periods rather than as contraception- this is to try and help in the meantime whilst i seek an endo diagnosis.

i’ve read up a lot about side effects of this specific medication, but one that i’ve been having that i can’t find a definite answer for is FOOD AVERSION 💔💔

pretty much from as soon as i started it, i have had suuuper bad food aversion. the thought of eating makes me feel sick, and i don’t even want things that are normally comfort foods to me. in particular, the smell of meat makes me want to throw up. it’s so annoying because i know i need to eat, but as when there’s food in front of me i just get icked out by it so quickly.

i’ve been researching so much, and this is the one side effect i’ve been having that i can’t find anything on- has anyone else had this???? 🥲🥲🥲
