I have been on two different kinds of BCP's for almost a year. And everytime I have my period, I get TERRIBLE migraines. They knock me down for days, and they are because of the hormones. I never got migraines before I went on the pill. The pill is also making me terribly moody. So I was thinking about stopping it and seeing if that helps. However, I also have anxiety and am taking Paxil for it. My question is if I stop taking the BCP like I want to, will it make my anxiety get a lot worse because I'm not taking the hormones anymore, or do you think it would actually help the anxiety because I wouldn't have any extra hormones in my body to deal with? Has anyone had any experiences with any of this? Any info would be great because I am really struggling over what to do about this! Thanks!!!

Which pill are you on? Maybe it is too high of a dosage. I used to get migranes real bad, but when I switched to a lower dose pill, they went away.
