I haven't taken the birth contol pill for about 3 weeks now. I don't need it as a form of contraception, I was using it to help with other problems (like breakthrough bleeding). But I did notice the anxiety started about a week after commencing "the pill" that is why I thought there was some connection. I have experienced anxiety in the past but normally I can control it and it is brought on by a phobia. At the moment I have no control over the panic attacks. I don't understand why I feel this way constantly. I'm so full of nervous energy and can't seem to calm down. I hyperventilate and my heart rate has doubled. I wish I knew if it was caused by an hormonal inbalance or maybe i'm doing it to myself? Who knows? I would just love to get some answers.
