A member asked:

How soon after stopping the contraceptive pill will i feel better emotionally?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends: Your background mood before you started the pill and what has happened to you emotionally is most important. Although some women are very sensitive to hormones, specially progesterone, don't be disappointed if discontinuing the pill is not the fix. Consider stress management, nutritional deficiencies, vitamin d and sleep deprivation.
