should i switch?

[chelybell7]

I've been on the pill for about 3 months now, at first I was on something called Jueve, or something like that, but I had an allergic reaction to something in the generic version, so they had me take an off week and switched me onto a new pill, called Mircette and i'm on my 3rd week of my second packet of that.

But lately, i've been having horrible headaches & mood swings, i've constantly been depressed and tired. my friend said this could be my birth control pills and maybe i should start taking another one, or maybe taking vitamin b or hormone therapy..

please help, advice or experiences are more than appreciated!

Honey,

You have placed so many variables on this you must talk it out with the doctor face to face. FYI, the birth control pill is hormone therapy.

I just stopped my birth control since my doctor wouldn't switch brands for me and it was also making me have mood swings/depressed. Getting off helped me a lot, it's still happens but not nearly as often and I'm starting to feel like myself again. I think you should talk to your doctor as soon as possible, I started getting mood swings in the second month and I let it go on for almost five months and it just kept getting worse. So before you start taking any other pills I'd talk to your doctor about it first.
