Recently ran out of above med's (2.5 mg) after taking for 1 month. I did not refill for 5 days.... After about 3 days of not taking the meds I started getting severe headaches. Can you get headaches when stopping these meds? ## Hello, Flash! How are you feeling? Yes, since these are hormones, headaches can be both a side effect of taking them and a withdrawal effect of stopping them.

Is there anything else I can help with? ## Does this Med EST ESTRGN METHTEST 1.25/2.5 mg tab make you gain weight?
