I think the hormones are the problem...

Posted by TrishP on November 21, 2005, at 10:28:40

I've noticed since switching birth control pills again - that I feel easily agitated. I can fly into a rage pretty easily.

I'm wondering now if the additinal hormones through birth control pills are causing more mood swings.

Could it be the additional estrogren?

Not really sure what to take anymore.

I thought keeping my hormones steady throughout the month would be a good thing.

Plus, I'm really tired and dragging myself through the day.

If I go back to the Wellbutrin I have energy, but am irritated. So I need to take something to counter that side effect.

Ugh!

Trish,

I was sorry to find that monophasic b/c pills, as well as the mirena IUD were disastrous for my mood.

After almost a year with the hormones I "regressed" with the hubby to condoms!

I had the same line of thinking as you...keeping levels steady troughout the month - but no dice here. My doc was also trying to control the terrible cramping I now have AGAIN!!!

FWIW, I just started seeing an endocrinoligist to see if he could shed any light on all of this depression/anxiety/rage stuff... Als, so many levels to him seem "perfectly normal". I often contemplate hysterectomy...sigh....

Be well,

Diane
