Can I take myself off of the pill?

Can you check the instructions that came with them and see what it says?

I haven't got them with me, I'm at home and the instructions are at uni halls.

I suggest you go to your local doctor and ask them what you should do

I suggest googling the name of the tablet. Quite often the manufacturer has an online copy of them/information leaflet about the pills.

I've been on Loestrin for 3 weeks now (not long I know) but I can't take it anymore. It's making me tired, headache, emotional (I will cry at anything.. earlier because I thought about my cat missing me when I move back to uni next week) I also think it could be making my anxiety worse, cramps, longer periods, increased libido, feeling sad a lot (I'm usually a happy person)

I've tried two other pills but they just didn't agree with me for numerous reasons so I had to switch. I'm on the pill for health reasons. I still want to be on the pill but I can't get any new ones for over a week and I can't handle being on these any longer. Is it okay to stop taking these ones, let them get out of my system and then start taking different ones?

I just have and it mentions nothing about just stopping taking them.

Obviously I'm not a professional and I'm not advising you to do anything but ... I had issues with my pill earlier this year so took myself off of it for just over a month. I had no problems at all with doing so.. but when I started to take it again I had to adjust being back on it which took a few months.

You've only been on your pill for three weeks and although you are struggling with it they do advise that it can take a few cycles for it to adjust to you .. obviously its your body and you know what your threshold is regarding tolerance.

Additionally as you have said that you are on it for health reasons, it might be an idea to just pop to your local pharmacy and just ask they're opinion.. it's always always something worthwhile doing if you can't get to a doctor.

Best of luck!

"you may stop taking the pill whenever you wish".

To see where I found this, google
"loestrin manufacturer" click first link: loloestrin.com
"making the switch to loestrin"
at bottom of page "FDA - Approved Patient Information Leaflet"
then "continue to labelling information"
page 9 pdf near bottom under "what if I want to become pregnant"

to go directly try:

Obviously you may not want to be pregnant but the principle of stopping is the same.

Which loestrin are you on?

I'm on the 20 dose and it's much better than the 30! Not as strong I was on mixrochronira and another pill that began with le whilst I had the implant in my arm. But these pills were too strong for me and caused my heart to go weird. Maybe ask to go onto loestrin 20 as it's meant to be the pain pill that causes fewer side affects as it's a low hormone dose pill.

I think you have to finish a whole pack of pills 21 and have the 7 day break and then you can stop. If u stop the pill without 21 days coverage the chance of getting pregnant are higher.

If your having issues bc of the pill try the copper coil as no hormones are released from it.

That's ok! Maybe try the coil no hormones are released. I had the implant in and it was awful! But each thing affects people in different ways! Good luck!
