      Hiya , so i decided to go cold turkey after being on it for 3 mths ! guess what my period came as normal so im suspecting that it affects some peoples hormones ! however i havent slept in 3 weeks for more than 3-4hrs a night so im off to the doctors today to see if there is an alternative ! i would rather sleep than have a period xx
