Birth Control and Anxiety

I have pcos so my periods are bad so I recently asked my dr for birth control so I can just skip those god awful things all together. I was on bc all through high school and my early 20’s. Well over the years I have developed panic disorder and now I’m 30. I’m terrified to take the bc. I’ve never had a bad reaction. I don’t smoke. But taking meds freaks me out because of all the side effects they list. Am I just crazy and should take it or has anyone had a horrible reaction to bc ?
