Mood swings on Birth Control - Alesse Posted: 10-16-07 15:19pm
I started alesse 28 on sunday, and I don't
know if its just me but my mood has
changed, I feel more down, cry more, and
Im annoyed easily. I get alittle bit of a
headache too which I know that can happen.
But I'm not sure about my mood, as anyone
else had this problem with any type of
birth control pills? and would it go away?
Im questioning if I should even be on
birth control because I hate to think of
the short and long term side effects, and
if I choose to go off it how do I do that?
would I just stop taking them right now
since I've only took 3? Thanks.

No keep taking them!!
It is probably from the pills, you aren't
imagining it. However, as your body
adjusts, it should go away and you will
feel normal again.
Give it three months. If it doesn't get
better, talk to your doc about switching
to something else.

I took alesse for about 6 months. It was
the only birth control that made me have
bad mood swings. i have not had a problem
with anything else i have tried.

Don't feel too bad! I just started taking
birth control too, Ortho Tri-cyclen Lo and
I am almost through with the first pack. I
had some totally bad mood swings when I
was first taking it. I was told to do the
1st day start, and I don't know if the
mood swings were because of the hormones
from the pill, because of my period, or a
mixture of the two. For like the first 2
weeks I felt like a total emotional wreck:
mad, sad, crying and just feeling weird. I
do feel better now, so maybe you should
just stick with it and see what happens. I
think the emotions will get better. If
they don't, you can always talk to your
doctor and see about getting on a
different type of pill, one with different
hormones.
Hope this helps! =)

Depressed - The pill? Posted: 10-09-08 18:30pm
It's good to see that I am not alone.
I've been on the pill for 8 years (on and
off). I was on tri-cyclen for a while
however I felt nauseous at the beginning
of every pack so on my doc's reco I
switched to Alesse. I've been on Alesse
for about 1 year and recently I've been
feeling really down - depressed. There
has been some slight changes in my life
however I don't think I should be
depressed. I'm thinking that it may be
the birth control. Has anyone felt
depressed vs. having some mood swings?
