Ep. 55 - How to Transition Off Birth Control Without Making Your Anxiety Worse

Today, we’re tackling a topic that impacts so many women: how to come off birth control without increasing anxiety. This episode is inspired by my own journey and the many questions I’ve been receiving.

We’ll cover questions like: Is the pill making my anxiety worse? Should you taper off birth control gradually like you would with SSRIs? Why do so many symptoms appear after stopping the pill? Is going on the pill a good idea for managing mood and anxiety, as some doctors suggest? And if you’ve recently stopped a progesterone-only pill to return to a natural cycle, how can you support your body while it adjusts?

If you’re considering transitioning off birth control or just want to understand how it can impact your mental health, this episode is for you!

Some great books I recommend in this episode include Taking Charge of Your Fertility by Toni Weschler, Beyond the Pill by Jolene Brighten, and In the FLO by Alisa Vitti.
