I am 44, was put on bcp 6 months ago to regulate my period. Worked fine until about 2 weeks ago. Started having severe pms like symptoms, anxiety, depression, crying jags. Went to see my MD, he thinks hormone imbalance, ordered a number of lab tests and put me on the mini pill. I had a really bad period, heavy bleeding and huge clots. The period is over and I STILL am anxious etc etc. Anyone else have these problems? Am I crazy along with menopausal?
