Does Your Birth Control Alter Your Mood?

Question

I’ve noticed that my birth control has taken over my moods. I’m never sure of my emotions. It’s like clock work. Week 1 I’m happy no matter what. Week 2 very anxious. Weeks 3 and 4 it’s a mixture of depression and anger. Is that super weird? If it is what should I do?

Answer

Yes it messes up my sex drive. I am never ready for sex. I am always moody and irritated.

Answer

Yes I was on the pill for 4 years. Could randomly cry or get mad about things that didn’t matter. And had little sex drive. And horrible cramps during period.... I stopped the pill and sex drive is back, emotions are STARTING 🙈 to regulate. But I admit I feel a lot better being natural.

Answer

If you are experiencing uncharacteristic depression or suicidal thoughts, please contact your doctor. A birth control pill I was on over the summer made me manic depressive and I actually thought I was going to kill myself. My doctor changed my prescription to a low dose pill and I’m having no problems whatsoever. Any major changes in your lifestyle should be concerning to you and can cause problems long term.

Answer

I am on the pill seasonique and just started Sunday. I've been a hot mess full of emotions and my sex drive is crazy high. They say it is pretty normal when you start because you have to adjust to it. I feel crazy, but I'd rather be crazy due to birth control over taking on another child 😂😂😂😂. Good luck! Hopefully everything smooths out soon.

Answer

I was on the pill for 5 years and just went off it because my moods started feeling so uncontrollable... feeling so much better now and plan on talking to my doctor soon about another lower hormone birth control
