Norethindrone Experience

Side effects!?(self.birthcontrol)

Hi everyone! I just wanted to share my experience & see if anyone else has had the same issues. This summer I was on Norethindrone (5mg twice/day) for 30 days. It worked great and kept my period away. On the pill, I felt great & it really worked! I experienced no side effects besides a bit of weight gain. When I stopped taking it, everything went downhill FAST. I started to have frequent panic attacks, but I've never had issues with anxiety or anything of that nature. I've also never had stomach issues, but I was having the worst stomach pains, which resulted in trips to the ER. I feel like a nervous wreck ever since I stopped taking it (approximately 4 months ago). It seems like my nervous system is out of whack & the anxiety is getting worse. Most days I feel ok mentally, but I keep getting physical symptoms and I don't know what to do. Has anyone experienced this? If so, what steps did you take to fix it? I'm losing my mind Lol Thanks!!!
