Tri-cyclen Lo Mood Swings Posted: 06-11-07 15:36pm
I'm 18 and went to my doctor about 2 weeks
ago and was prescribed Orth Tri-Cyclen Lo
because I had irregular bleeding for over
a month.
I waited until I got my bloodwork back to
begin taking the pills and have taken five
and I've been crying for about 2 days now.
for no reason! It feels like I'm PMS-ing
only worse. And on top of my mood I have
this pain in the upper right section of my
abdomen...it's not really my stomach. I
know these are some of the regular side
effects of birth control- but the white
pills you take first apparently have the
lowest dose of hormones, and if they
effect me this much- what's gonna happen
next!?!?
So my question is if the
emotional/hormonal side effects are known
to decrease or stop after your body
becomes used to the pill?
Should I try another pill? Right now I'm
not so much concerned with contraceptives
but with a regular period. If anyone can
help please let me know. Thank you!

Talk to your Gyno about this.
Personally, I use Ortho-Tri-Cyclen-LO and
I haven't had any emotional side-effects.
All pills are different, but I have read
that pills with higher hormones give less
emotional Side effects. This could be the
case with you since you were put on Low
hormones, but every woman is different :]
Birth Control pills can give you a
lighter, and regular period if you take
your pills correctly. As for the abdomen
pain, I can't really tell you about it.
You should talk to your doctor about that
one.

Side effects should go away in three
months. If they don't, you should switch
to something else. If you can't stand it
to wait it out, switch earlier!
