6 day break from pill?

4 February, 2009 at 20:54 Posted on Off Topic Posts 0 12

Hi all

I am really bad during my pill free days and get panic attacks etc and my emotions basically go mad. I've had (having?) a panic attack this evening and really want to take my pill today even though I've only had 6 days break.

Will it b e ok?

Thanks

    Yes. I would go back to your GP and discuss your pill free symptoms in case there is something they can do.

    I don't have a break on mine, nor any periods. One like this might suit you better? Or could you come off it?

    Not a medic - but yes as far as I know you should be OK going back on after 6 days (I've certainly played around to get my cycle the way I want it to be). Do you have a break every month? I was told at a consultation that the FPA had changed their advice about how frequently breaks need to be taken and actually it isn't necessary to have a break every month - once every 3 months is acceptable.

    Also - what GW said, I would definitely go and talk to your GP about this as there may be alternatives that are more appropriate for you.

    Jo, I think Im on the same minipill as Doughnut, Cerazette. Ive been on it over 5 years now, and you take one a day everyday, no breaks and Ive not had a period on it either. No mood swings or irrational outbursts either!

    I know I have a dual personaility, Im WT and Dave all at the same time. ?

    Anyway its worth seeing your GP, to see what other pills you could try, but I recommend Cerazette.
