Birth Control a Cause of Anxiety

Do birth control pills ever cause anxiety?

Anxiety Question:

Do birth control pills ever cause anxiety?
I am taking Ortho Tri-Cyclen LO. Been on it for about two years now and just get real anxious every now and again and thought maybe this could be causing it.

Anxiety Answer:

Yes, it can.

I can tell you from personal experience that if you think your pill is the cause of anxiety, you should go off of it immediately. Everyone is different though.

My suggestion would be to find a pill with a different concoction of hormones. I would definitely check with your gynecologist and find out what they recommend for your specific needs.

Dealing with Anxiety Advice

No more panic attacks at all!

At the time I found your program, I was crippled with fear, shaking, panicky and severely depressed. It was a struggle for me to even breathe, let alone concentrate on anything at all. I was in my last year of studies at university and I couldn't even go to classes - I'd just lie on my bed all day. At its worse I'd just lay on my bed I'd lost 5kgs in 9 days just laying there - I couldn't even eat and didn't feel hungry!

I listened to your "Dissolving Panic and Anxiety" program every night for two months and I pleased to say I haven't had another panic attack.

I wrote affirmations out and read them morning noon and night. I think I spent half my time actually trying to convince myself I could do it and the other half actually studying for my exams.

Anyway, long story short I passed all my exams! I didn't achieve 100%, but I did well scoring 79%, 85% and 90% in my final year exams.

Thank you,
Katie M
