> I'd never been affected this way by birth control pills before -- but I hadn't been on Effexor the last time I was on "the pill" either. Anyone had any experience with this? I'm hoping it's the medication and not just me!!
Oh, I've been there. It's not you. Effexor (and Prozac) and BC pills were a very bad combo for me. It turned me into an emotional, unpredictable mess. I've tried nearly every BC pill out there and they definitely have an effect with ADs.
The way I see it, you have three options:
1) Hang in there and hope it gets better2) Switch to a lower dose BC pill such as Yasmin
3) Switch back to Prozac but if you already tried it and it didn't work, try another AD. There are a million out there. You may have seen my other posts but I've found luck with Cymbalta but everyone is different.
Good luck.
