I've been off the pill for 6 weeks, and for the past week or so I've begun to experience overwhelming feelings of depression along with some serious mood swings. I started taking Lo Loestrin Fe when I was 16 in order to control some of the more severe symptoms I was experiencing with each cycle (cramps, heavy flow, etc.), but now I'm 21, and although I no longer have those severe symptoms, I'm afraid my hormones are out of control (either that, or I actually have depression, which my mother also has). I don't want to rely on the pill to keep my hormones in check, but since I'm a full-time student, it's extremely difficult to live with this much longer. So my question is this: What are the pros and cons of staying off the pill?
