Symptoms already
| Fri, 07-06-2007 - 10:38am |
I started taking the pill again after a 4 month break. I've been on it for one week now and I find myself already being snappy and that sad/overwhelmed feeling.
Why? Is it just because I am under more stress right now (summer semester is ending - lots of homework/due dates, new relationship) or could it be the pill?
I had to quit my last pill Alesse (the generic rather) because of uncontrolled anger/depression...but now they have me on a lower dose Loestrin 1/20.
Is it too soon to tell? Obviously I should finish this pack but I don't know if I should give it three months or call my doctor. I'm afraid if I'll call she'll just say "stick with it"
Opinions? TIA

Hi Jenny, welcome back!

Thanks :)
Sorry to hear about your BTB, ugh years ago when I was on Seasonale that happened to me, I had my period for a month straight! And it wasn't when I first started it, but rather 2 years later.
I am feeling better now then I did earlier. I am under ALOT of pressure with school right now so perhaps I was having a personal mental breakdown.
I hate how this medication controls us - so to speak. I mean we take it so that we don't get preggo, or in some cases to regulate our periods, etc. But it makes us so miserable. While I realize there are non-hormonal options - IUD, I'm not willing to have minor surgery. I hear it can be rather painful!!
Blah....I hope things get better for you. Email me though my profile anytime, or here is good too.
