Desogestrel - Coming off the pill thoughts?

1 reply

Hi all!

I have recently been thinking about coming off the pill. This idea came around after seeing multiple posts, from different sources, saying coming off the pill greatly improved mental and physical health.

I do suffer from anxiety and being very low from time to time (don't want to say it is depression as I haven't been diagnosed/not 100% it is that). I also cannot confirm if these would be side effects of being on the pill as I started having anxiety way before I went on the pill. But maybe it could have been enhanced by it?

I am sexually actively and have been with my partner for a few years now.

The pill I am on at the moment is Desogestrel so would be great if experiences were from this pill specifically. But happy with whatever springs to mind!

I just wanted to see if anyone has any experiences they can share about what it was like to come off the pill. Pros and cons please!!

I came off it a few years ago as didn't want to keep taking it and DH wasn't going to get the snip. Can't remember which one now but went for a Mirena IUD which is brilliant. No periods either. There is another thread running in this currently
