Has anyone ever had anxiety caused by birth control pills?
Posted , 3 users are following.
Hi all. I began taking birth control in june of 2013. I was always an anxious person with a history of panic attacks but I had them well controlled. In March of 2014 only 9 months after beginning the bc I went through some extreme stress and felt dizzy and anxious ever since. I was reading how bc can cause anxiety disorders in some. Also how would I talk to my bf about getting off bc and using only condoms? Are condoms safe as the only form of contraception? any one with similar experiences please help.

hormone birth control can wreak havoc with our bodies. i had the implant and it affected my mood and made me very anxious
there is non-hormonal contraception. such as the copper iud coil. which i will be trying next. speak to your doctor about alternatives. maybe a different hormone based method is better for you?
condoms are 98% (i think) if used correctly. but still can break or come off.
personally i dont like to rely solely on condoms, as theres always room for human error. but it is a personal choice.

Hey Chelsea,
you should know, condoms are never 100% safe. not for birth control nor for stopping sicknesses.
