When I go off PM, and again when I start back up, I find my mood changes quite a bit for a few days to a week. Then things seem to settle back down. After a few years of doing NBE, I would have to say that the only lasting mental change for me is that I have less urge to express my feminine side (it isn't completely gone, just greatly reduced) and less interest in things like porn, although I still very much enjoy observing nicely shaped women.
I have always been a bit skeptical of the brain rewiring thing as a general effect. See http://www.nypost.com/p/news/national/ba...IMacwRlkqO for an example of someone taking that idea to the max. I often wonder if it isn't simply that changes in hormonal effects on the body either inhibit some behaviours or unleash others. I suspect that if there were lasting rewiring effects that going off NBE would cause less difference between being on and being off PM. In fact that doesn't happen for me. My wife can always tell when I have gone off it whether or not I tell her. Usually after 3-5 days of being off, she will ask me something like, "Are you stupid? When will you learn not to stop with those?". She expresses it more gently, but that is the gist of it.
