Oh Cat Freak, I was so pleased to see your post, I was having probs with Elleste Duet conti 2mg and 3 months ago went to docs to say something had to give, either more and stronger of the same cuz mine wasn't working as well as it did, or maybe it was too strong now so I needed less, or if all else failed ...Prozac... It turned out I was on the strongest going, so it was suggested I wean off at 1 pill every other day... upshot was I felt even worse, so stupidly decided to stop all together. What a mistake, megga! Then I realised I was losing weight.. and my hair was falling out, (so got it cut very short again after trying to grow it,) then the panic set in again worrying that I was dying, had cancer, god knows what else, Having just read your post and all the replies I realise when I went on the pills I put weight on, having stopped them it was falling off... but I've been feeling so awful that I phoned the surgery last friday to ask the receptionist to plead my case for me (I'm a coward) and let me go back to one a day.... mercifully the doc agreed. I'm just starting to feel a wee bit better, and if a few pounds creep back, so be it (i'm not obese) I'm sorry to hear it didn't suit you, but for me although I didn't realise until I had none, it was actually doing me good.
