I am switching from Loestrin 1.5/30® to Levlen® to try and lessen the amount of bleeding on the first day of my period, and also, to help some with the cramps. I will be starting these new pills this week. I am still a little leery about switching pills thinking I may end up worse off than I am now, but I am willing to give it a shot. My main concern is that if I take these new pills and I am not happy with the results the first month for some reason, will I be able to go back to taking the LoEstrin® and have it work exactly like it was working before I made the switch, or will it be like starting a whole new pill in that there may be breakthrough bleeding, spotting, and I may not get it on the exact same day as I used to (it was always 3 days after my last hormone pill). I am just asking this as I know that with other meds I've taken (like anti-depressants...I suffer from panic/anxiety disorder and depression) that you may take them once and have no side effects and they may work fairly well, but then if you stop that med for whatever reason and try and re- start it maybe a month or several months later, your body chemicals have now changed and the med either no longer works on you or you experience side effects this time around.
What do you think the chances are of me being able to re-start the LoEstrin® after being off of it for one month and having it work exactly like it used to?
80-90% - pure guess
I am sure there is always a risk that it will not work the same, but how large is that risk?? I have taken LoEstrin® for about 2 years. Does the risk increase the longer I am off of it?
Not over the course of less than a year, but after that I would think the chance is more that there might be change. Again pure guess -- no scientific studies I know of.
