I started on ortho tricyclen lo two months
ago, and am starting my third pack
tomorrow. My problem seems to be that
when I start my period I get overly moody,
aggressive, depressive, and just not
fun.
Normally (as in before the pill) I had
some of those signs the first day, but by
the third I was fine. But right now i'm
like seething inside because of the way my
socks feel against my feet, which isn't
really like me.
I was wondering if anyone else has gotten
like this? I seem moodier all around even
during the month since I started these
pills. Oh, and my optometrist says that
my eyes have gotten worse because of
it!!!
So basically i'm wondering if anyone else
has had these problems, and if you tried
other pills that were better.

Some women do notice a worsening of
depression and/or pms symptoms on the
pill, and sometimes swicthing pills can
definately help.
Some women on the pill notice that if they
do not have a period week, that their pms
goes away.-it is called continuous use,
but is not reccomended you use with
tri-phasic pills.
Yes, contact lenses do chnage your eyes,
and some women notice an inability to wear
contact lenses. Using a special brand of
contact like acuvue oasis can definately
help, it has more moisture for your
eyes.-if you notice drying...

Thanks.
I've been wearing contacts since 4th
grade, and while my rx has gotten worse I
was freaking out - it had changed within
this month! But the dr said it happens
with some pills.
I'll definately look into a different
pill, or see if I can't get a rx for one
of those long term no period pills.
