I'm just wondering what going on and off does to our emotional health. If I wasn't already crazy I'm sure that would drive me to be so. But...

You have a very good question. I think it depends a great deal on what the medication is. For example I'm on a depoprovera and I only get a single day period once a month.

The last time I went off birth control it really affected me. All kinds of cramping and it was a while before I cycled again properly.
