anxiety and depression from the pill

Emma

last night i had what i can only describe as an emotional breakdown. i used to never have anxiety, but it seemed like out of nowhere i got it and it’s BAD. i think everyone is talking about me all the time and that everyone hates me. i used to NEVER think anything like that. on top of this anxiety, my depression has gotten to one of its worst points in 2.5 years...the last time i was this depressed i was suicidal. now, don’t freak out, bc i learned from that experience and went to therapy and would NEVER kill myself, but the fact that it’s this bad again has me really worried. and it made me worry even more because it came out of nowhere. anyways,

after all that happened last night, i realized it may be my birth control. i’ve never been on any form and i just started sronyx about 3.5 weeks ago.... i looked up the side effects and it said that rarely do women experience serious side effects, but that they can include

“mental/mood changes(new or worsening depression), spotting, and dark urine.”

i’ve been having dark urine for a while which confused me bc i only drink water and i usually drink at least 3 water bottles a day. so i found it bizarre to be peeing like i was dehydrated.

all that being said, i only have 2 more days of a active pills before i’m on the inactive/placebo week. i didn’t know if just stopping in the middle of a cycle will mess up my body. should i finish out this month or just stop today?? i work at a pharmacy and am going to talk to one of the pharmacist monday about all these side effects and see what they say before i schedule an appointment with my obgyn. just give me your opinions please!!!

ps. before i started this brand i was planning on taking. sample of taytulla but had an allergic reaction that left a rash and hives all over me that got worse after each dose i took. so me and birth control don’t get along
