Why do I feel as if we've already discussed this? Actually I know that we have but I can't find the thread. I am in therapy right now and one of the things the doctor asked me was how I was doing on birth control. I told him that with the new pill I am on I was having a terrible depressing time for the first 2-3 months but that I got over it... at least that's what I thought. But now, looking back, I realized that two years ago when I was on it I was struggling with some major anxiety, depression, etc... Basically it felt like I was having PMS x100 every. single. day. I know that I'm sensitive to things, if I have a hard time sleeping, usually one Motrin will knock me out for the rest of the night. If I drink alcohol all it takes is two margaritas to make the ceiling spin out of control, when I'm in the hospital for terrible pain due to cysts I ask the nurses to give me half of what they would a regular patient and then I'm out like a light. But I'm still having severe anxiety and depression, in fact, much more than I was before I was back on the pill. I tried to look for the answers, like losing my father-in-law last year, losing my grandmother, not being where I want to in life, all of the weight gain I've experienced. But I just can't shake the feeling that it's really this little blue pill I take every day that is causing me these issues. My doctor acts a bit surprised but the more I read online the more I see that, though in the minority, other women are having these issues as well. Anybody else?
