Hey all. This is my first post! I stopped the pill three months ago due to bleeding and weight gain (I was on it for 10 years and had to keep upping the dose). Anyway I noticed so many changes and I wanted to hear everyone’s stories! The reason I am posting here now is because I cannot find anything on google— my biggest complaint right now BODY ODOR. I NEVER smelled while on the pill. I would forget deodorant and go to the gym or work and wouldn’t worry in the least. Now I smell. Point blank. Wtf. I am switching up to a stronger deodorant and will probably carry one around all day but this is a shocking change.

Other changes include: a few pimples around my period, longer period, bearable cramps, better sex drive, my depression and anxiety has significantly improved, my hair and skin seem to be healthier (more oils- not dry as a desert), did I say I enjoy sex now?! Lol. In all I love not being on it and I am mad I stayed on it for so long not realizing a lot of my main issues were caused by it. Let me know what you guys think about these side effects and if they are normal. Especially the B.O. LOL

Edit: I feel nauseous a lot now too. And I cannot eat like I used too.
