emotional wreck!

I've been taking a new pill (Femodette) for almost 2 weeks now, after changing from using Cerazette cos it made me on my period the whole time. But I'm a bit worried about how the new one is affecting me. I have felt really down this last week, and I've been crying loads. Yesterday at school I was fighting to keep back tears all day, and I'm not even feeling upset about anything that I know of. Last week I cried twice and my boyfriend had to sort me out and just give me a big hug til I stopped, and I couldn't even tell him why I felt like that.

I've been really snappy too, like with my parents and stuff, and I fell out with my friend as well and said some really nasty things. It just feels really strange because it's so out of character for me. My boyfriend is the only one of my friends who has ever seen me cry, that's how rare it is for me to get upset, yet this last week I've been a wreck. I'm really annoyed at myself for it and I just keep saying sorry, but I don't wanna be like this anymore. I mean, im not like suicidal the whole time, but im finding it difficult to be cheery all the time!

So d'you think it could just be my body getting used to the pill? cos I do occasionally feel more emotional just before I'm on, so maybe it's the hormones? And is it worth changing pills? Cos surely it will just settle down after a while? Does anyone else have any experience? Thanks a lot xxx

Hey..usually if you have symptoms from a pill (which it sounds like these are), they dont settle down for a long time if not at all, so its probably best to go back to your doctor and change pills. I've been on Microgynon 30 and Yasmin (recommended if you're prone to spots) and had no problems on them. You just gotta keep trying different ones until you find one right for you

same as above ^. And also, when it comes down to it, chocolate, disney films n hugs are the best things when you're like this, they never let you down.

Good luck :smile:

i had a similar problem when on ovranette but my gp said it prob wasn't caused by the pill and wouldn't change my prescription so i just stopped taking them (will try and sort out a new one now i'm at uni though)

So do you think I should go back and change it? Because I don't wanna end up on one that makes me be on my period all the time again, cos that is sooooooo annoying. Or should I maybe just try and ride it out and concentrate on not being moody and stuff?

I don't know any pills that make you be on your period all the time. But yeh, I'd go back and change. Just tell your doctor that the pill you're on currently is making you moody and sad and you want to change it. You don't have to put up with it. I very much doubt you will be on another pill that makes you be on your period all the time
