[|Human|] I have been on the bc pill for the past 20 years. For the past three years I have been experienceing depression, anxiety. I am seeing a psychologist and mental health therapist. They have me on prozac and clonidine. I have tried several other meds as well. I feel as thou I am going through premenapausal symptoms. At my request my Ob has taken me off the bc pill. I am still experiencing hot flashes, moodiness, depression, anxiety, but now have terrible back and pelvic pain. Is this my body having withdrawals from the bc pill?
[|AI|]  HI, thanks for using Chat Doctor Discontinuation of the birth control pill should not cause any pain including pelvic or back pain. This pain would have to be related to another cause. Back pain can be related to the vertebra or the surrounding muscles. If it is muscular, it would usually be on the sides and be related to movement to a particular side. Vertebral pain is normally central though it can extend outwards. Pelvic pain can be related to the hips bones or the other organs in the pelvis (uterus, ovary, bladder, fallopian tube). Since the discontinuation of the pill is not likely to cause these symptoms, you should consider visiting your doctor for an assessment. This would be physical examination and imaging. Perimenopause and menopause can be associated with emotional changes as well as physical. I hope this helps
