Is my BC making me mean? - Birth Control Message Board

I am taking Lo-Ovral mainly for Endometriosis and lately I have no patients and everything gets on my nerves, EVERYTHING. I am usually not like this, it's like the worst PMS ever, ALL THE TIME. Anyone else? Would another BC pill be better, maybe? HELP

I experienced the same thing on Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo. My emotions were so out of wack - I felt crazy. It was like I was a different person. Constant PMS is a good way to describe it.

I just quit the pill last week after being on it for a little over 5 years. I'm hoping my emotions will soon return to normal. I'm also hoping to see my sex drive return - the pill pretty much killed it

I had many bad side effects on Ovcon 35. Besides annoying things like water retention, I had no sex drive and became super moody and anxious and woke up daily on the verge of tears and constantly picked fights with my husband over really trivial things. Once I stopped the pill, my mood improved tremendously. I feel like myself again

I dont have side effects from the Microgestin fe 1/20 that I take until the week before my period. Then I get so cranky and moody that I feel like a different person. The mood swings are really outrageous and it makes me feel super bad for my boyfriend having to deal with me

I HATE it!!!
