Hi! I am currently on meds for anxiety and depression which is fairly controlled. I wanted to start a birth control to help with the pain and other debilitating effects of my monthly cycle. I haven't been on any BC for years and the first one they had me try is quasense. It caused me extreme anxiety and I had to stop taking it. Is anyone here in a similar situation with anxiety and on, or tried BC that didn't increase your anxiety? Or if it went away fairly quickly?

Hi why not go back to your doctor and ask for a different med? I am sure they won't all have the same effect on you.
I am but I just wanted to see if anyone else with anxiety has tried some birth control pills and can vouch for them. 🙂
I had no issues when I was on Nuvaring but I know it has side effects - they all do. It depends on your personal hormonal makeup and bc is trial and error unfortunately 😊
