okay girls. someone please give me some kind of info.

Like I stated before, I stopped taking the Pill about a week ago.

now, I'm ANGRY!

like, violent inside. I feel up and down, but ultimately I feel angry. As if I don't care about anything or anything. I am not weepy, (although I should be as I just broke up with the bf) but I'm not!

No crying.
No weeping.
No emotion but anger.

Anyone????

woohoo! welcome to the rollercoaster ride of fake hormones! hang on, it gets bumpy. i couldn't handle feeling like that anymore. i was either really happy, or cried at the drop of a hat. i stopped taking the pill and i am so much happier. but ulitmately it's how your body reacts to the extra estrogen.

You never know how getting off fake hormones can change your moods. Anger is completely possible. I felt a bunch of anger too. Plus, I often feel lots of anger after break-ups...and I nearly always find it impossible to cry when I'm mad. For me, anger is one of those cover emotions that I have when my mind isn't ready to face the more vulnerable feelings of sadness or loss. Anger pushes me through and makes me get things done. Then later, I can feel the loss.

I wish you, as always, the very best.

Well, if you just broke up with someone why not be angry? Do you feel like you should be weepy? The hormonal flux probably has something to do with it, too, but if I broke up with someone, I'd be pretty fucking angry about it, too.

Yeah, not angry about the breakup.

It was mutual and civil and we are still on very good terms.

I should be weepy. I should feel *something*. but I can't get past this angry feeling.

I also weaned of anti depressants last month too.

Too many pills inside this little body.

My $0.02.

Well, even if it wasn't a messy break-up, it is still a not-so-minor life change on top of whatever chemical changes you've got going on inside you.

Don't obsess too much over the angry feeling - just go ahead and be angry. Write some rude, nasty latters and then rip them up and burn them. Buy some cheap yard-sale glassware, tie it in a grocery bag, and throw it down the stairs, just to have the satisfaction of hearing the sound of breaking glass (this is my personal favorite). Maybe if you just let yourself be angry you'll get past it.

I am SO going to do that.

whenever i go off the pill (ortho tri-cyclen) i get angry. not depressed, not cry-y, but angry. i've gone off the pill 3 times now, which i know is bad for my body. each time i've gone off i've lost weight and became angry, but in a very useable way.

Re:

ok, good.

good in the sense, that I'm not the only one.

mine was ortho-cyclen, but was ortho-tri-cyclen.


hmmm.

I had a similiar reaction when I went off of depo. shots. I think it's your bodies way of rebounding from the hormones. Of course anger may also be symptom of depression. Anger is the primary symptom that I get when I go into a depression. Did a doctor help you wean from the medication you stopped a month ago? If you dont want to have a bunch of synthetic stuff in your systme maybe your a good canidate for St. John's wort??? I've never been on it, but I've heard good things. Good luck! I hate feeling that way.
PS I think the breaking glass idea is awesome!

Thank you

I went through the same thing (still am) and wondered if there could be a correlation, but it made no sense. I was going *off* the pill, not on it! But it felt hormonal. Sure, there were things to be angry about (aren't there always?) but good grief. I am sorry you are angry, but I am glad not to be alone or hallucinating. :)
