Anxiety from Birth Control?

Recently, my partner and I decided together that I would ease off of my pills. I began wondering if the Ortho-Tri Cyclen was making my anxiety worse, and brought up the idea to my partner. Up to that point, I had never reevaluated my strict 3-year regimine. We agreed that I would discuss with a doctor possibly switching to a lower dose form of the pill. We were hoping to see a change without making a sudden shift in my body, and our sex life, too. Both my partner and I noticed a slight decrease in my symptoms, and after 3 months, I stopped the lower dose pill completely. That was 2 months ago. I feel as though the hormones made it more difficult to handle my anxiety. I still get anxious on a fairly regular basis, but it feels more predictable and easier to manage. Ironically, I think it's now easier to see how my anxiety seems to go pretty hand-in-hand with my PMS.

I'm just curious to know if any of you have had similar experiences, in which your birth control might have contributed to any kind of emotional upsets or feelings of anxiety beyond your regular cycles. Please share your experiences! Thank you for your input.
