Splitting dose of oral contraceptive
I liked the way an oral contraceptive made me feel, but sometimes the change felt too intense. I'm not sexually active, so not using the pill to avoid pregnancy. There is plenty of information on using oral contraceptives outside of avoiding pregnancy, more within the realm of improving physiology (e.g. PMS symptoms, syndromes). However, there's no information on splitting pills to lower the dose of hormones - any advice is just derived from instructions saying not to split the dose (as then you risk pregnancy). Is there anyone with a background in the theory of these pharmaceuticals that can explain whether hypothetically, split doses of these pills can be used as a type of HRT therapy for improving mood and energy?
