What Causes Memory Loss, Tiredness And Agitation While On Levonelle?

Hi, I took levonelle about 4-5 weeks ago, only about 4 weeks after having a termination (I know, I ve sorted contraception now), but I m having terrible hormonal side effects. My skins broken out, I feel hormonal and stressed, tense, my memory s awful, I ve lost about 9lb in 3 weeks, I m tired and feel restless and agitated. I m also angry and weepy. I m pretty sure it s from both of these things but I need to know what s going on with my hormones.

dear,
sudden stoppage of hormaonal pills have invoked a withdrawal symptoms in your body.
your body mechanisms would need time to tune itself in absence of hormonal supplements to function, which may take couple of months around.
A gradual tapering off of the hormone would have prevented it.
a setting up of secondary depression is quite evident.
I would like to advice you to undergo a course of anti-depressant for couple of month.
thank you
