 Posted: 02/09/08 - 18:31 Post subject: Depression & uncertainty about relationship after stoppi |
  |
|
I have been off Yasmin pill for 6 months to try to conceive. Since being off the pill I have had regular periods apx every 28 days accompanied with severe period pains on the first day of the period and bleeding for apx 2 days. The main problems I have had apx 2 months after stopping the pill are: I have not been sleeping at night, I’ve been having severe low moods where I am doubting my feelings towards my partner and if we have a future together and on the week of my period fatigue and black moods where I see nothing good in my life.
I have read a few posts regarding this subject, but none saying how to ease this and when it may subside. Please help as am seriously considering splitting with my partner as cannot lift this depression.
Any advice would be much appreciated xx  |

I'm currently having the same issue after stopping the Nuvaring. It's been three weeks, and I'm anxious, depressed and having panic attacks constantly. I can't sleep, I don't want to eat, and nothing is fun anymore. I suspect that I am having something analogous to postpartum depression because of the withdrawal from the birth control hormones (my own system isn't making them like it should). My doctor has me on anti-anxiety medication, and it seems to be working (for the last five days, anyway).
I think you should definitely consult a medical professional. |

there is a thread on this.....
this has happened to SEVERAL women including myself...
its titled something like side effects of stopping birth control- depression....
I urge you to stick with your partner and get as much support from him as possible.... this is going to be a long road...with lots of ups and downs...mainly downs..... I have had every blood test under the sun... I did find out that after stopping the pill I was vitamin D deficient- I was like at 8 and the low is 30- vitamin d def causes depression amonst other things.... I would do fine until I ovulated and when my cycle would come- I'd have complete meltdowns.....I felt if I was going out of my mind...
my doctor prescribed me lexapro and xanax and I have taken neither- I went to a naturopath- and am helping the problem with vitamins and minerals.....
I take- vitamin d- I have stopped for a will as I got to much to take
vitamin c
magnesium/calcium
omega 3's
flaxseed- grounded
a well rounded multi-vitamin
My problems started 12/22/07--- and they are still here- not as severe but better, I have more good days than bad ones now, but today is not a good one for me though...
As far as seeking medical advice- tread lightly- all the medical doctors I have been too- could have given a hoot and didnt look farther into the problem.. I told them everything .... all they want to do is put you on anti depressants and more pills...and I might add I am not a pill taker- all my vitamins are in liquid form....
Well after more test and a thorough examination from the naturopath- and after losing 24lbs...
I have been diagnosed as having hypoglycemia, potassium is low, now vitamin b is low..... all the same things I told all the "doctors" I told her an she has helped me more than anyone..
I have days where I wish I would have never stopped taking the damn pill....
My body went into complete detoxification... I was taking ortho tri-cyclen lo for 7 years...
this problem is more widespread then we know... Some woman arent savy enough to attribute one thing to the other- or they get so overwhlemed and just take the anti- depressant at the urging of the doctor an go on.. I have nothing against people who take these at all- its a matter of personal choice....
hang in there and keep the mate around- believe me you are going to need the support... |
