Birth Control is making me moody and stressed
Posted: 02-19-08 20:25pm

I'm on Ortho Evra patch, and lately i've been super moody, stressed, crying over nothing, i have hardly any sex drive, and i snap at my husband very easy. I've only been married for 8 months.I have NEVER acted like i have been lately. I have my periods on one of the last days that i'm off the patch, and i haven't seem to have regulated yet. It's getting worse day after day...Do i need to switch to another BC, with maybe a diff dosage of hormones??? Or is it BC itself that might be making me act weird??

Ortho evra is a higher dose of hormones than are in some pills...

Your period can start ANY day of the 'patch free week', even the last day, and it is normal. That is not unusual.

You can try other pills, and different methods.

I cannot use hormones because they make me moody, and make my TREATED depression worsen.
