Mood changes on pill?

I have been on Seasonale for the past year. Recently, my insurance switched me to Jolessa (the generic form). I have been going PSYCHO -- crying at dumb things, really oversensitive, moody. Is it possible it's from the pill change?? Thanks!

hello!! in answer to your question-most definitely. i had anxiety attacks when i was on the pill (alesse-well the generic form-aviane), i lost a bunch of weight, i would have crying spells too...ive been on the depo shot for awhile and all that stopped. so i know it was those pills...your moods should even out in a lil bit-if they dont you might want to see what else your insurance covers...take care!

Ah! Your posting made me feel better! I just posted on the PMS board about this two seconds ago!

On Sunday I started Yaz for the first time and I've felt the mood swings going on in the past 24 hours. Hate it! Normally, I'm very mellow and happy. I hope this will pass for us both! I'm sure it could be worse!

YES, YES, YES!!!! I went from seasonale to tri-phasic (regular generic pill) and oh my gosh!! I felt like I was losing it. I cried all the time, got mad easily...I was basically putting my husband through pure hell. I just stopped taking it till I see my doctor again. I felt 100% better in about 1 week. I don't know what I am going to use now...we'll see I guess.
