I've been on birth control pills now since late 2004. I went on so I could regulate my period and for pregnancy prevention. I was on Alesse for the first 7 months and had so much breakthrough bleeding. I switched to Marvelon which I have been on since then. It regulates my period perfectly but I have terrible mood swings. I realize that mood swings just kinda come along with the pill but what do you do about them? I find them so annoying and they interfere so much with my school and my emotional health. I'll get soo upset about things I'll cry or get really angry at my bf for something I would otherwise not even care about.

I'm going one more month on marvelon but I'm going to be taking it at nighttime instead of in the morning when I usually do to see if that changes it. If it doesn't I'm going to be switching.

What do you guys do for mood swings? Any suggestions?
