Extreme ups and downs when I finish the pack
Okay, ever since I gave birth almost four years ago, and can't remember what pill I was on a year prior to being pregnant (which I had no issues with that pill brand at all)....I have had instances of extreme (in my opinion) ups and downs, very emotional, crying at the drop of a dime, when I get to the last week of my pills, I am a mess, breasts hurt, chest hurts, sometimes anxiety ridden. Just switched pills (again) earlier this year at the GYNs urging because of the breast pain.............but it doesn't help much. Additionally, I was on antibiotics for a bit because of an absessed tooth (another story!) so I forgot to take the last week or so of pills..........and had my period early...but this week, I have been so anxiety filled, in pain, etc. ANyone else experience any crazy symptoms once you finish that last week of the pill? I was on ortho evra lo before........or something like that, and each week the dose was different, that stuff drove me insane! HELP me out there..... -
2 months ago i switch from brenda to yaz and i have noticed that once i finish the last couple of pills for the pack that i cant sleep from being hot and cold at the same time, i feel extremely depressed but within a matter of seconds i'll be jumping for joy..then once im a few days into the new pack im fine again...its weird -
Thanks, I guess, in some ways, I am not alone. I have had the same sleep symptoms too, hot to cold, cold to hot, kicking off the covers, putting them on.......the depression and pain is annoying.......good thing it's temporary....I think I need to stay on them.......Thanks for the reply......maybe I am not so crazy after all. The doctors don't seem to be concerned at all..........they just kinda brush it off.......Comment
