hormone withdrawal? is this possible?
| Mon, 03-08-2004 - 12:18pm |
hi, i'd been on OTC for 7 years, and i stopped about a week ago. i did this because i'd had a number of bad side effects like depression, anxiety, violent mood swings, etc. (for 7 years!)
anyways, now i just feel kind of weird, a little bloated, just all around odd. i was wondering if anyone else has stopped using the pill, and maybe it's possible that i'm having weird withdrawal from not having the hormones i had for 7 years? has anyone else had any symptoms like this? and do they go away?

When I went off OTC 23 cycles ago I felt so much better within a week! I felt more alive and my libido came roaring back, it was wonderful! We are all different though. I don't think it would be unusual for you to feel a bit different for a few weeks as you get used to the artificial hormones leaving your body.
Good luck
