I had a bad reaction going off birth control pills (weight gain, acne, mood swings). is there a way to ease off them to make the transition easier?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Maybe. : Mood swings, pms, can be controlled with an ssri such as zoloft (sertraline). Acne can be treated with several different options. Weight gain can be treated with exercise and nutrition. I hope this helps.
