      Hello, I’m 24 years old and had been on contraception for probably 6 years. I never had any problems before I went on contraception and I never had any problems when I was taking contraception I stopped all contraception early last year and a month later I found myself being signed off work with anxiety, panic attacks, constant crying, dizziness, sore eyes, and headaches. Can stopping the contraceptive pill might cause this?

        @arri Hello, Some women experience a rash of symptoms—including mood swings, anxiety, and depression in the months following the cessation of hormonal birth control. Some hormonal experts have started calling this effect post-birth control syndrome. Anxiety symptoms after stopping hormonal contraception because the medication was suppressing pre-existing anxiety. In this case, your symptoms might continue even after your hormone levels have settled and you will need to speak to your doctor or a psychiatrist. Thanks!
