Side Effects of coming off the Pill
Has anyone experienced any side effects after stopping the Pill? I feel really weepy lately, and it's uncharacteristic of me. Just wondering if it may be due to hormonal changes after coming off the Pill...

Re: Side Effects of coming off the Pill
I think I lost a few pounds  but got acne  (it was temporary though and went back to normal after a month or two)

Re: Side Effects of coming off the Pill
Hmmm.. so maybe I'm just emotional and it has nothing to do with the pill. Thanks for the info!

Re: Side Effects of coming off the Pill
I did get emotional when Iwent off last December. I also gained about 3-4 pounds, got some acne. It was awful.
I was on BC for over 2 years, and maybe it was because I didn't remember AF symptoms, but to me they seemed to come back stronger-cramps, bloating, my boobs still get porn star like.
I think everyone is different though :)

Re: Side Effects of coming off the Pill
I thought you gained weight going ON the pill, not OFF. Great, something else to look forward to...

My body was backwards! I lost weight going on the pill and gained when I went off.
Go figure!

Re: Side Effects of coming off the Pill
I experienced some heavy duty symptoms - so much so that I was convinced I was pregnant the first two months off the pill. My cycle became REALLY whacky and I was an emotional wreck (I remember crying in the costume store because DH picked out a costume that I didn't like ). It's normal... should take a few months for your body to regulate itself again.

Thanks. I find myself ready to cry at the silliest things.

It was quite the shock to my system.
I found I was much LESS emotional off the pill than on. I'm realy sensitive to estrogen, apparently.
Maybe it depends on the kind of pill.

Re: Side Effects of coming off the Pill
my first period off the pill S-U-C-K-E-D!
I broke out - I was very emotional and PISSY like you couldn't believe....
I forgot how crappy my period was off the pill.
