How long?

I stopped taking yaz almost 2 months ago and was wondering if there is anyway that my body could still have any sort of withdrawal symptoms? I've been more tired this past week than I have at any point in my life I think! Thanks for any input!

Re: How long?

I'd think by now the hormones would be gone from your body.

Re: How long?

You would be surprised. I'm not sure how long had been on the pill initially, but it can take from 6-12 months for your body to fully be rid of the fake hormones.

The thing that most people don't understand about the pill is that the chemical properties bind to your cells at a microscopic level, and a lot of it is stored in your body fat. It takes a really long time to detox from it, as a result. Many of the withdrawal symptoms take a long time to get over.

The tiredness is most likely due to the fact that the pill depletes your body's natural store of vitamins and essential nutrients. For mood problems and energy problems, it's really crucial to supplement with a B-Complex vitamin to help your body feel better while you're coming off the pill. Some other essential supplements include Magnesium and Omega 3-6. If you're already taking an Evening primrose oil supplement that you don't really need the extra omega 3-6.

You just need to give your body time. That's the only thing that will help get rid of your withdrawal. The Pill is serious stuff, it takes more than just a couple of months to get rid of the effects.

Re: How long?

Thanks for such an insightful response. I guess I never really thought about how it could bind itself into my system like that! Creepy. And I always say I should take vitamins, this reinforces it.

On a positive note, since being off the pill I am SOOOOOOOOO HAPPY! No more anxiety/depression issues!!

Oh and I was on birth control for about 5 and a half years. Patch for the first 3 then Yasmin and Yaz.
