mental health gotten worse?

Question

I started birth control about a month ago, my anxiety has gone way up. Did the birth control effect it or is it just really bothering me lately? Should I try to get medicine? Does the medicine even help? 
Like yesterday I was at Walmart and the fire alarms went off and then after they stopped every small noise was making me nervous. 
I think my depression is getting worse too. I cry all the time for absolutely no reason. And small things have really been bothering me.. 
should I get medicine for both? Does the medicine even help? I don't like medicine honestly...

Answer

I had similar experiences on the pill. I don't really like putting chemicals in my body like that if I can help it so I don't recommend more medication to try to fix the problem another medication is causing. Since BC messes with your hormones, you might try a different method or a lower dosage. Personally I just completely stopped taking it and use the FPM instead however I'm married and have a super regular cycle. If you're not in a committed relationship and/or aren't regular, I don't really recommend that. But trust me, sacrificing your mental health to be on BC is not worth it.

Answer

:(. I had the same experience on the pill it was horrible! I didn't know what was wrong with me. I had a couple of panic affects and went to the hospital for them because I didn't know what was happening. I would recommend you seek another bc. I'm trying the paragard, I'm getting it out in on Tuesday

Answer

It's the pills they change your hormones for the worst
