re: LOCAH, Anxiety, Birth Control Pills Dec. 28th, 2007 8:57pm
Hi there. Well where to start? My daughter was on BC pills for 11 days only cause she became very anxious AND aggressive, not her usual self at tall. Needless to say that by the 11th day I called the doc and said NO WAY was I gonna give her another pill! She was back to normal by the next day!
Anyway this is my own experience okay, so not everyone will have gone through what I did. I was on Dex for about 12 years. Granted I was on a lot at first, but regardless of the dose I was depressed and did have panic and anxiety (fear too)going on. More than I do now. Since I have started taking Cortef a year and 3 mo's ago I feel great. No where near the amount of fear or panic or ever anger for that matter that I used to feel. I used to have lots of irrational thoughts that would throw me into a crying fear. I also would wake up just after falling asleep with a jolt and my heart pounding, I would get up and check my kids often to make sure they were breathing. I still wake up like that sometimes, but it's usually when I'm stressed about something I have to do the next day. For example...EVERY SINGLE time I go to make that long 18 hour drive home to Ky, I NEVER get any sleep the night before. But this last time, the night before I was to leave to come back my mom gave me a zanax and it did help me sleep better.
A couple of other things that I think are connected to the anxiety is I don't like a lot of noise. Could be too cause I'm getting old. But a lot of loud mixed up noises like the tv, the radio. and people talking all at the same time bugs the crap out of me.
Maybe I need to look up the word anxiety lol, and see what it all entails. I thoguht it just meant worrying, but my mom says different. She suffers from it so bad that it's hard to be around her. Everything raises her anxiety!!!!!!!
Anyway I've blabbed enough, sorry for writing a book, lol. Take care.
