Horribly Emotional From Birth Control Posted: 04-16-07 23:13pm
So I have never been too emotional at all.
I always used to get along great with guys
but then I started taking birth control. I
am an emotional wreck and in my eyes am
even more needy than I was than when I was
a baby. Is there a birth control that is
better for these problems? I would love to
know?

prolly is the birth control
I too have the same problem, i'm super
duper emotional and sensitive, everything
my bf says, i take it to the heart. i'm
giving him the silent treatment right now
for saying the phrase "stop it" when told
him that i miss him.
it sucks but u'll get use to it i guess?

hey,
i just replied on a similar post about
this, so sorry if you read both.
I used to take the combined pill and was
exactly the same, so i stopped taking it.
recently started a new relationship and
decided to get some advice about birth
control from my local fpc, the doctor me
that oestrogen can cause moodswings and
depression, and put me on the Progesterone
only pill (cerazette), ive been on it
almost a month and i feel great. I have
had some bleeding for a couple weeks, but
its light and she told me this would
settle down and become more regular.
I'd definately recommend visiting your
doctor again, there are alternatives out
there and you shouldnt have to put up with
the symptoms of those pills.

Birth Control can definately make you feel
emotional. Different BC work for different
people. Deporovera (needle every 3 months)
made me depressed, pill was fine however i
recently tried the Nuva Ring but had to
take it out after 5 days as i was sooooo
depressed. Back on the pill now and feel
great. Just a matter of finding the method
that is right for you. As they say if you
dont succeed then just try again.
Good Luck

I must say that I have been on a lot of
different BC methods out there and I was
the same way on most of them. The only BC
that didn't have that effect on me was
Ortho Evra Patch. The risks are greater
than other types of BC but it worked the
best for me.
