Triphasil - Sad
Posted: 11-24-06 21:28pm

I was on micro 20 and all I did was cry so I changed to triphasil and feel a bit better. Im in my third month now and i'm starting to find it hard to control my anger emotions. I get mad at my bf for doing something that I used to go "yeah whatever" to. Its really hard on us.
Im sad too. Like depressed but not deep dark more sad and botherless. Does anyone else find they have this prob??

I am unable to tolerate hormonal birth control for this reason. It really screws with my emotions. Maybe i'm a hormonal lightweight?

I was so anxious, I accused my husband of having an affair - I cried at the drop of a hat, I became skittish over the wind blowing and had racing thoughts of bad things happening (car accidents, and the like). It was not good. I could hardly leave the house.

Once I quit the hormones, I was fine. Now it is hard to remember exactly what was so, so bad about them - but that feeling, that constant breathless, fearful feeling I can remember. I'll never take them again.

i know this feeling well. I was like this on micro 20 and now with triphasil I was ok and then lately its gotten worse. My bf is so strong and im so lucky. My dr is putting me on a non-hormonal injection next cycle. It last for 3 months and doesnt have the depression or crying or suspicion. He says that it doesnt have the hormonal changes but you dont get any periods. Which im ok with but as long as theres no crying or accusacions i'll be happy.

The 3 month shot is hormones!

It is called depo provera! It just does not have estrogen in it, it does have progestin.

Yes, it can have the same side effects, but takes longer to get out of your body if you have problems with it.

An iud is totally non hormonal.

well I hope it works. Dr seems to think it will suit me. I cant have the estrogen cause thats whats making me like I am but I have confidence in my dr and am sure he's doing whats best for me.

I get confused - is the iud the one that is inserted in your arm and slowly releases???

No, the iud is inserted into your uterus, it is copper, and the copper acts as a spermicide and fertilization preventer.

The iud is an 'intrauterine device'.

Hormone free, and the one here in the u.S lasts for 10-12 years.
