What Are The Withdrawal Symptoms Of Contraceptive Pills?
I have been on birth control for over a year and I have noticed that sometimes I have unusual mood swings. I am going to stop taking my birth control pills to see if that changes anything. What kind of changes can I expect from going off the pill? Does the pill affect your mood? I take Mononessa

Hi,
Intake of birth control pills could cause certain hormonal changes in the body, which could affect as mood swings.
However, once you stop intake of birth control pills, fertility returns back to normal soon. Other effects which could have been caused due to the intake of birth control pills would gradually return back to normal.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
