My wife has been taking Z for over 12 months now with pretty good results. She has indometriosis and has to take birth control pills to stop the indo from spreading. The BC pills make her a little imbalanced so Z was prescribed. Her sexual drive dried up almost completely. Not only is it painful to have sex because of the indo, but her desire is missing as well. And we've only been married for 1 1/2 years. She stopped taking Z yesterday and starting taking W yesterday. Today, she has headaches, nausea, and overall feels horrible. We called the pharmacist who recommended waiting 7 days for Z to get out of her system then starting W.
What are your thoughts? We'd appreciate any feedback from you.
