Hi there
I was wondering if anyone has suffered with panic since they started on the pill? Namely the mini pill aka progesterone only.
I have recently been thinking that the pill that I have been put on has increased my anxiety and panic attacks.
Back in November time I was prescribed the mini pill and from december I started having panic attacks. At the time the Dr put it down to stress as we were burgled and there were a couple of other things going off. I believed them of course. Time went on and I started feeling desperate. I was so tired and breathless and my heart would race all the time. The Dr again said they were all symptoms of panic.
In March I came off it and switched to the combined pill. Strangely my mood lifted but at the time I thought it was because some of my anxieties had dissapeared. Then in May I had to take the mini pill again because I had started to get headaches.
The past four weeks or so have been a living hell. I have been feeling desperate again. Waking up and crying all the time. I have last week switched to a different mini pill to see if it makes a difference but I'm feeling the same still and wonder if it is the progesterone that is making me feel so awful and tired all the time.
Sorry this has been a long one but has anyone else suffered like this whilst on the pill and linked the two together?
