About The Study: In this study of long-term combined oral contraceptive users, withdrawal from contraceptive steroids during the pill pause (short-term hormone withdrawal) was associated with adverse mental health symptoms similar to those experienced by women during menses with withdrawal from endogenous steroids. These results question the use of the pill pause from a mental health perspective. Authors: Belinda Pletzer, Ph.D., of the University of Salzburg in Salzburg, Austria, is the corresponding author.
