PCOS/Insulin Resistance Support - Birth control pills

I wasnt sure which forum to post this under but I need to switch my bc because its making me an emotional anxious train wreck. Right now I am on LoEstrin Fe. What does everyone else take? Any recommendations? Does anyone else have emotional problems or feel like their very anxious and worry about things they never worried about before?

I was on Nuvaring and LOVED it. It's a low dose brith control, so that may help in the side effects department. I had developed some side effects from my old pill (desogen) and I was put on nuvaring, which solved the problem.

Birth control is tricky and it really is trial and error because no one reacts the same to a single pill. Good luck in finding something that works :hug:

I'm looking at the "mini-pill". Since it doesnt contain estrogen Im hoping maybe that will help with my mood. I found 3 brands of it and could only find reviews on Micronor and they all said terrible things :/ Im trying to find out about the others which are Nor-QD and Ovrette

I have been on orthotricycln-lo for 4 yrs...No side effects...My doctor had switched it briefly, to regular orthotricycln...and I had really bad side effects. SO I know that small changes can make a GIANT difference. I guess you need to play around with it!

Be careful, though, cause ANY hormone based birth-control (I have tried around 20 at current) screws with me in one way or another, either emotionally or causing my cycles to be more messed up than they already are!
