Microgestin got me like *doesn't bleed* *eats nonstop* *be nauseated*

Pls tell me these headaches aren't gonna last too long

So safe to say microgestin is officially out of my system. Fuck that birth control and fuck birth control in general. I wish it worked for me but it just fuckin doesn't.

microgestin is cruel and i feel nasty R.I.P in pieces honestly

I have no idea whether I should try stopping my birth control pills again or not. Or maybe switch to another pill or something. Because even when on the normal white pills (and not the iron ones), at least for this month, my anxiety and depression spiked so much, and it’s becoming unbearable. 

I’ve noticed that my anxiety had gotten so much worse than it was last year (and this isn’t anxiety about my brother’s death, either; it’s just been steadily getting worse, and I’m wondering if the Microgestin is the cause).

I tried stopping it once before (last year), and my anxiety spiked, so I’m not really sure what to do. Because the anxiety is taking over my life, and it’s making me so miserable because I look back at how I used to be and I miss it so much.

I’m a little nervous to try going off it again, especially since this pill used to regulate my moods pretty well.

I just don’t know what to do...

(Currently, I am on a ‘fog week’ [the brown iron pills make my moods worse for some reason], so I might be freaking out more than usual, but this is one of the worse months I’ve had on the pill.)

um ok so i am on microgestin and i think i just got my period. but i still have a week 2 go on my pill pack so. what even.

Okay, so this is sort of personal, but I just sort of want some answers. (Hence why I’m not putting it under a cut.)

I’ve been taking Microgestin Fe 1/20 birth control pills (I use them to prevent cysts and regulate periods) for a little more than a month. About two weeks ago, when I started the ‘brown’ colored pills, I was hit with extreme anxiety, paranoia, and even intrusive thoughts. These feelings did not go away, so I stopped taking the pills last Saturday. Since then, I’ve still been very anxious, and very emotional (the second part doesn’t bother me, since, a day after I stopped taking the pills, I got my period). 

If anyone else had this problem, how long did it take you for your hormones to regulate themselves? (Also, should I go back on the pill?)

I just really hate this feeling, and I want it to go away.

TMI time

okay so i wanted to rant for a moment to maybe help/discuss with other women whats going on with me.

i just realized today that I've been on my new birth control for about 3 months now and it has ruined me.i came off of Lo Loestrin because i thought it contributed to my weight gain (it didn't which i know now) and i was put on Microgestin FE.I have issues with depression and anxiety and was on medication for both about a year and a half ago.However,i haven't felt the anxiety and sadness I've been feeling since then.I came off the anti depressants and i felt way better.After researching the pills I'm on i feel so much better knowing I'm not fucking crazy.I have been feeling like the walls are caving in on me.I feel so sad and unhappy about life,i cry about everything,anxiety is crippling me,and the anger thats in me is pretty scary.I almost considered going back on medication but now i realize these fucking pills are not working for me.They don't work for a lot of people and I'm shocked they're even still on the market.My relationship with my boyfriend has changed so much in the past month or so and obviously i can't say its just my birth controls fault but i did realize today its a huge factor.I can't handle anything,i fight about everything,and it feels like the world is ending.Im going to go to my doctor asap and either go back on lo loestrin because my moods were fine on it or see if there is another option that would be good for me.Id love to talk to anyone thats experiencing this!If you feel like this just know you're not alone

and you're not crazy<3
