Zelleta, 75mg desogestrel

47 years old, have been on progesterone only pill for 6 months to help with excruciating migraines… getting worse from mid 40s.

However, depression and anxiety greatly increased including other symptoms- weight gain, exhaustion,nausea and a general feeling of just giving up. Felt Pmt pretty much all the time and everything bloated and swollen.

Decided to come off it, yesterday was the first day off…. Today …oh my 😣 feel absolutely dreadful, piercing drill like pain on left side and eye, nausea, exhaustion and hopelessness.

Is it going to take a while for my body to readjust?

Please share your experiences of coming off … I just feel like giving up..
