AD and birth control hormones??

I am currently using the copper IUD for birth control because I have too many problems with the hormones in birth control pills. I would take one and then 2 hours later I would turn into to a crazy lady and freak out. This happened everytime. I'm currently on Zoloft for my anxiety and depression and want to know if that might help my freak out periods on the pill?? I need a new method of Birth control. God knows I can't handle a 2nd child right now.

Just wondering, why do you want to stop using the IUD?

Hi LB, welcome!

I'm confused. I'm not sure I understand the question. An IUD is a very effective method of contraception. Are you having problems with it? Do you want to have your IUD removed? Hormones affect us all differently perhaps your meds would keep you from becoming moody if you went back on hormones and maybe they wouldn't. Is it really worth trying to see? Is this what you were asking? Thanks for posting,

Hugs,
