Quitting Ortho Tri-Cyclen?

Question: Hey my name is Andrea and I'm 19 years old. I've been taking Ortho Tri-Cyclen since October of 2005, but decided to quit taking it last Monday because it really messed with my emotions: depression, sensitivity, suicidal thoughts, and even rages..none of which I had before taking Ortho!

I had a few rough days, probably from my hormones re-adjusting. But, I wanted to know if quitting it can cause nausea/bloating? Thanks!!! =)

Answers:
Those are usually symptoms OF the pill not from getting OFF it.. IF you have had sexual intercourse and not used any other form of birth contol since you've stopped the pill you might want to take a pregnancy test. However, if that's not the case and it continues you might want to see your doctor. Also, lower dosage of hormones might help you if you still want to be on the pill ( like YASMIN)
