I do ask the same question :( Im only 8 weeks off the pill and it has been scary and hard..
Often i also second guess myself if the pill really did this or there is something else the doctors didnt catch. Reading through this forum gives me reassurance it is indeed the pill. It's no coincidence that all of us suffered almost all the same symptoms after stopping pills.
What are your initial symptoms and what remained after 15mos?

I still have ROCD and thoughts about my SO are seriously always on my mind. They don’t effect me as much as they used to and I think I’ve come to a realization that birth control is the reason I’m feeling so weird towards him. I’ve been through different stages of this journey where I’ve felt different things many things bothered me. The only thing that is still lingering in the “do I love him” question, some acne and my periods are really balanced yet. Also, I experience mild depression and some numbness in my legs. My biggest advice would to be to just stay strong because I know it feels like it will never end but it really gets better. I’m no where close to where I hope to end up but I do see improvements although set backs are very discouraging. This is one of the worst experiences ever but unfortunately we all have to fight it and get through it together. Best of luck

Anxiety and rocd have def been my biggest issues. I also had blurred vision, sweats, weight gain, fatigue etc but the hardest has def been the anxiety an rocd which are still here though not as bad. I stopped bc jus after gettin married so my first year of marriage has not been the fairytale i thought it would be. Im surprised my husband is still around cos i have put him thru hell :-(

I'm sorry to hear that the Anxiety and the ROCD is still lingering around after 15mos :( Did you do anything or take anything for the anxiety? It's also one of the hardest side effect i am still battling ( including the physical symptoms of it)..
How long were you on the pill before you stopped?

Goodluck to all of us! I will keep all of you girls in my prayers..
Setbacks pull me down to where i first started.. i wanna cry and scream for this feeling to go away! It's the hardest thing I have to face. Im scared that after all these I might not recognize myself anymore. Often times i wonder how does it feel to feel normal.. i got so used to be being sick for the past 7 weeks :(

I was on the pill for 8 years before going off. I started taking fluoextine about a month ago for anxiety as i was jus so fed up feeling like that! I feel it has helped me immensely. I stil worry though that il always have worries in back of my head about my relationship that il never overcome. Drivin me mad. My head is my worst enemy

It's hard to battle with our own minds :( some people tell me not to think about it or distract myself but it's too damn hard most of the time..

I always say i wish i had a reset button that i cud just press an start all over again. The worst bit is def questionin my relationship cos before all this it was the most important thing in my life an my husband got me thru everything!

Is it normal to think other guys are attractive but like freak out about it. I’ll go somewhere and see a hot guy and question my relationship if the guy is more attractive than my boyfriend. It never used to bother me when I saw someone attractive but now it does.

It bothers me that during sex I don’t feel that connection anymore it’s so sad. I used to actually feel a connection and now it’s just like I’m having sex to make him happy. Idek so weird, can anyone relate?
