Hi All,

I just came off of the birth control a month ago and went through my first "natural" cycle. When I first stopped taking the pill, I felt like a walking disaster - feeling terrible, panic, anxiety, etc. I just finished my period and I am all of a sudden feeling great!!! I don't feel anxious, my heart rate has slowed WAY down and doesn't pop up fast like it used to, my blood pressure is AWESOME, no panic attacks and palpitations are almost completely gone!!

I've been taking this pill for about 2 years and I was on it in between pregnancies with my daughters. I've never had a problem with these pills....as a matter of fact, I preferred them over any other pill that I've ever taken! I never even thought that the pill may be the problem!!

Do you think that my anxiety and panic may have been a result of being on the pill? I'm really quite puzzled here....it's such a drastic difference! I almost feel like my old self again!! Can birth control pills cause anxiety and panic?????
