    Default maybe "the pill" is making me a grumpy bitch?

    I feel irritated and angry a lot. My friend has recently suggested that it could be a side effect of my contraceptive pill. I take levlen ed (which I think is the generic version of microgynon?). Has anyone taken this and become quite moody?

    Everything makes me go crazy. Like if I am driving and I have to stop at a red light I nearly loose it. When I have to get shopping out of my car I just start swearing and getting really mad.

    I can't take this anymore. I snap at people. It's terrible

    This happened to me when I was taking the pill - I forget what it was called, though, but it was supposed to have a low amt of estrogen...maybe Loestra, if that's a pill??

    I was the exact same way. I would go to class in the morning and seriously feel like beating up the girl next to me...who was sweet as could be...she just participated a lot in class, and it pissed me off LOL!

    Levlen ED (Microgynon) is fairly well known for causing mood swings and depression in a lot of women. I took Microgynon 30 for a while and whilst I didn't have too many big episodes like yours, my friends did notice a distinct change in my moods.

    My big problem was that my breasts got terribly sore and tender and I felt so tired all the time...has this happened to you? How long have you been taking it, because it may wear off after a while?

    However, if this really is a worry to you - I suggest you see your Doctor again and have some more tests with a view to possibly changing your contraceptive.

    Remember, the 'pill' really screws with you body's natural cycles and hormones, so things like this are bound to occur when you mess with Mother Nature.

    I seriously feel like I've been going psycho lately. Bad hormonal mood swings... I got home last night after an hour-long drive and was already irritated from that. I was late for work and cut my knee shaving in the shower, freaked out and decided to stay home. I was fuming over a tiny nick and then proceeded to yell at my bf for turning the AC on because it was freezing in the house. I knew if I went to work I would end up punching someone. Last night was supposedly good so I missed out on money for being such a lame ass!

    I feel your pain! I'm also on the pill, have been for years, and I'm sure it has something to do with these mood swings. It comes in waves for me, waves of rage! Haha. I'm taking a generic for Loestrin, I think that's the one Exotica was talking about..

    What sucks is we really don't have any non-hormonal methods of BC that work. I would get an IUD but I've never had kids and am terrified of how much it would hurt to get one put it in.

    I'd still rather turn into a raging bitch sometimes than have a kid, so I guess we'll just have to deal with it

    Probably. I was on the pill for 10 years and I was a crazy bitch for most of it. LOL. No I would be fine the first 2 weeks of the pack. During the 3rd week I'd start to go a bit nutty and by my period I would be fully insane. I also suffered depression a few times. I feel 1000x better since going off. I still get slight PMS but nothing like I did before. I am also having anger issues at the moment, but I've been off the pill for over a year and they just started this month. Before this month my moods were awesome the last year pill -free.

    I've been on it for years since I was 16 however I stopped for a while and I've been on it again for about a year. I am tired a lot and my breasts are often very sore actually. I really think it's the pill. Otherwise I'm just naturally an asshole. So I'm hoping it's the pill lol.

    I think I really want to stop taking it but don't want to risk pregnancy. Have any of you tried the implant birth control? Apparently it contains no estrogen?

    Yes. I've tried three different kinds and this happens every time. Even with the low dose stuff. I feel like I'm going out of my mind ( like ..... I want to lay on the floor and cry and such ). I've been a mess. I've screamed at people ect.
    I never last more than 2 months on BC.
    I don't know why I can't tolerate any pill. I looked into the IUD and was told that they don't recommend it for me ( because I haven't had a child ). I also flipped out with the ring.

    I can't really offer any help on other forms of contraception, mainly because after coming off the pill and hoping for children - after trying for 3 years, I found out that I can't have them at all. So prevention really became an irrelavant subject and I've had no need for any form of contraception since that bombshell was dropped.

    Depo did the same thing to me. It amplified my natural asshole state to something akin to the apocalypse. Everyone's chemistry is different.

    And yes, I have the 10yr copper IUD. I absolutely love it.

    I have tried many different pills including the mini pill. All of them made me depressed, grumpy and put on weight. My body just doesn't like anything hormonal at all. I got a non hormonal IUD put in two years ago and haven't looked back. It's amazing.

    PMT ;-p
    I took monofeme, and never had any issues. And compared to how hormonal I am now, I can see that I was 'normal' back then
    Im not a fan of implanon, for some people its EXCELLENT, and others just have so many problems.
    Theres no sense crying over every mistake,
    you just keep on trying till you run out of cake

    I just use condoms now Jai... and Im married. Imagine how much that sucks. But I am like "meh" sucks less than the crazy bitch I am when I am on the pill. Bit different for me I guess cause if I did have a "surprise" I could deal with it being married and all, but actually I dont want kids. And I assume since you are single right now your probably not as active??? I'm really good about using condoms cause I really don't want babies so its not that hard. I'm thinking about going back on it for my skin, but it gives me bad cellulite too so.... probably won't do it unless for some reason I stop dancing.

    I stopped taking the pill for exactly those reasons, jai. Four days of not taking them, and I felt a million bucks and a new person. My man and I use condoms. They actually make pretty good ones these days. Durex makes the best in my opinion.

    I have to decided to stop taking the pill. Thanks for the advise ladies.

    I feel homicidal all the time nearly. So angry like my head is going to just explode at any moment.

    Love the comment about the apocalypse lol!!

    This is such a horrible way to feel.

    I usually dont use condoms as I've been in LTR's and condoms seem to make my vagina really itchy afterwards, I'm not sure why that is?

    You might be sensitive to the spermicide in them. Trojan brand does that to me. Lifestyles brand does it too. I stopped using lubricated condoms, and the problem was solved.

    do all condoms contain spermicide? Maybe that is it. I have very sensitive skin in general and I thought it was just the latex?

    Not all of them. Trojans are. They are also not as thin as the Durex ones. Ugh, I hate Trojan condoms. Lifestyles brand I think has a non spermicide variety, but I've never used it. We started using Durex extra thin years ago, and never looked back.

    I sometimes get this as well. I saw there is a new brand of non-latex ones here. I forget who makes them. I'll look next time I'm in priceline. I was thinking of trying them out because with latex the more you are exposed to it, the higher your chances of developing an allergy and since Im already allergic to pretty much everything I really don't want a latex allergy. Although I was just thinking, with you it prob is the spermacide... cause you've had surgery, the doc would have used latex gloves and if you had an allergy, that would have been a nightmare. My mom has a latex allergy and she would pretty much die if someone touched her internal stuff with latex. Her face swelled up like a ballon for months after the dentist forgot and used gloves.
