Get off the Birth Control pill! It is known to cause breast cancer, clotting and in some cases strokes. That little pill is simply not worth it. Talk to your doctor if you are sexually active as there are other options you could be using.

YES!! I used to take Ortho Evra and I was a nut case. I was depressed and emotional all the time. My sister can't take anything so far or she is real emotinal. I started taking the shot and I think that because it has no estrogen it is better for me. Hormones make your body act in different ways and some forms of birth control have hormones that others don't. I would keep trying until you found the right one for you, you don't have to feel as bad as some will make you feel.

Yes and no. Some can increase anxiety and depression, and some don't. I started birth control to help with my depression and anxiety, and it works very well. It varies from person to person. Talk to your doctor to find a birth control that would work best for you. I had to try a few different kinds of pills until I got one that helped reduce depression and anxiety.

I would ask ablout a low hormon birth control pill,they are usually used in pre menapausal women .I was having a lot of trouble with my bc pills making my anxiety worse and then my Dr. put me on I forget the name but it helped.

Answer

In some women yes it can. Birth control changes hormones in the body, so, in some women it can cause panic attacks or all sorts of anxiety issues. Birth control pills/patches are not healthy and can be related to breast cancer, heart disorders and blood clots. Short-term use of birth control pills/patches can regular periods.

Yes, birth control pills simulate pregnancy so they can cause side effects similar to pregnancy such as mood swings and depression.
