Hi all,

I am wanting to come off the combined Pill and I am worried about the severe depression I can get at certain times of the month when not taking it. Estrogen also protects against psychosis, so will need to keep an eye on that too. Does anyone know of anything which can mitigate this (not more psych meds) hormone dysregulation and the side effects of coming off? I think it is worse now at those times because I have been on it for so long. At the moment I take evening primrose oil but it is not that helpful.

I don't want to have to go back on it again as I don't like mucking about with my hormones.

So it needs to be something that will work.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks in advance.
