I have been on this birth control before, however I got off of it to try Yasmin (big mistake) and then have started it again (ortho cyclen).

Does anyone when starting birthcontrol feel distant from their SO? I know I am completely in love with my SO I just feel really distant and irritable and grumpy. I have had this before, and it's what I experience when I start birth control pills, I just start to think about it so much that I think "Well why do I feel this way?" "Is something wrong in the relationship?" "I've felt this before, is it real?" Ughhhh, I know that this happens when I start birthcontrol and/or on anti depressant/anti anxiety pills. I think I am just over analyzing but could this be from my birthcontrol? I just need a concrete answer.

There was a two month period where I was off anti anxiety and birth control and I felt great SO in love and SO happy with my SO lol.

Its just frustrating.
