What the literature and available studies do not mention is that Mianserin weakens the effects of hormonal contraception.
However, Drovelis, as a combined contraceptive containing drospirenone and estetrol, can affect the mood of female users. Possible side effects include mood disorders, including emotional lability, which can lead to mood swings and even depression.

I am also very interested in this thread because I have been taking 20mg of mianserin for years and I am just starting to use drovelis. Will mianserin weaken the effect of these pills?
