I was told to stop because it was making it very hard to treat my anxiety, when for a few days a month I would then swing into an unusual depression. Off the Ortho, the mood swings are MUCH less of a problem, usually almost unnoticeable. It was directly related to the pills.
I would avoid the other pills that stop your period for the reasons I listed above, whether or not any studies have conclusively linked them yet. It sketches me out.
stinkyattic Reviewed by stinkyattic on . No period BC pills So what do you all think about the new birth control pills that eliminate your period? I was considering it, but it just doesn't seem right. All the doctors are saying they're safe, but I just don't know. It sounds very convenient, but how do we know there will be no long term effects? And if so, what they would be? Let me know what you think. Rating: 5
