THE PILL

One type in particular.

About 2 years ago I went on this medication and at the 3 month mark I lost it. I was having panic attacks up to 6 a day, constantly worried, TIRED 24/7 no matter how much I slept, felt dizzy, light headed, I was sick every fortnight for about a year. I developed health anxiety and thought something was seriously wrong.. after multiple test, there was nothing wrong with me physically. I tried to speak to SOOOOO many doctors that all dismissed me and said "nope. contraceptive pill does not do that". and either offered me a prescription WITH NO hesitation or knowledge of my history or anything.. was just happy to give it to me whatever without asking anything about me.

I tried different drs as a lot of people said ok well maybe that just wasn't a good dr. nope.. every single dr did the same thing. They took my blood tests and just said "yeah you're normal.... goodbye" no help whatsoever, and I felt completely dismissed.

2 years later, I gave birth control another try... I thought maybe it was my external environment that was causing it. I'm in a much better place now, and no. Smack bang three months later (which is around now) I'm going through the EXACT same thing.

What is happening? Is anyone else having this sort of trouble with birth control?

(I have tried other brands- same outcome)

Hi!

I have the same reaction too..both to birth control and the doctors that prescribe it.

I tried a different pill as well and it was even worse than the "go to" combined pill.

I tried the implant as well, and I had a bad response to that as well.

Are you taking it for a medical reason (like controlling periods, PMS, endo etc) or is it to just avoid pregnancy?

Barrier methods like condoms, are the methods I use, and have had no unwanted pregnancies as a result.
