I'm not a mum, but could do with some womely advice so hope this is ok! Has anyone every experienced insomnia due to stopping the contraceptive pill? I was taking Loestrin 30 for about 10 years and decided that In june it was about time by body had a rest from it, a couple of weeks later I had a few really restless night where I was still wide awake at 2/3 o'clock. That was it for a couple of weeks and I thought nothing more of it, but the last 4/5 weeks have been a nightmare! I have had nights where i haven't slept a wink all night and ended up so frustrated at myself I just lye there and cry! I went to the doctors last week and they prescribed me Zopiclone to try and restart my sleep cycle, which work, they are great I'm asleep in like 10 mins but last night I tried to sleep without one, and yep, still awake at 2/3 o'clock! I really don't want to start having to take these regularly, but I can't cope with this either!!! Any one else had a similar experience? I feel like I'm going mad! May I add that I have always been a fantastic sleeper, one of those annoying people who could sleep on a washing line, so this is super unusual for me! I don't want to start a family for a year or so so am wondering if going back on the pill may be the solution. If anyone has had any experience on this that would be so helpful! Thanks smile
