Can coming off the pill mess up mental health?

[Xlalalaladdd]

I'm two weeks off the pill and I feel terrible, like the darkest days of my PND, all detatched and low. Has anyone else had this and will it pass?

Hi @Xlalalaladd, that sounds horrible but yes it makes sense that coming off the pill would effect your mood as your body has been used to getting hormones that it is no longer getting and will need a little bit of time to readjust.

There are definite links between hormones and moods. Now your body hasn’t got the extra hormones it needs to balance itself out. As pp said, it may take a while.

There are herbal things you can take but I’ve been to scared. I get acupuncture which really sorts me out and is miraculous for me. but it’s £60 a go and not everyone can afford it.
