This pill might not be right for you. It is a commen side effect but it doesn't have to be. I took 4 different pills till I found the right one that works for me. Maybe talk to your doctor about trying a different one.

Hi!! Ive been on birth control for the past 3 years and when I started it made me feel this way as well. After being on them for awhile it honestly went away it just took time but It also may be the brand not working for you the best as others could! If you are able I would recommend maybe a different type of birth control such as the implant, shots, patches, or etc just to see whats best for you

@Aubree12 How did you know to not stop taking it and wait it out?

I FEEL THIS. I started about a month and a half ago and had to stop two days ago because it was making me depressed and suicidal. Right now I’m waiting out the storm and hoping my brain and hormones rebalance and hopefully try a different brand

Obsessed
I know this may sound silly to be concerned about, but I have suicidal ocd. I get intrusive thoughts. And ruminate heavily. I feel like lately I cannot stop thinking about suicide 24/7. Until I fall asleep that is what’s on my mind. I had a med change a week ago and that’s when this started. Is this just a phase of my ocd? I am not wanting to kill myself- I don’t have a plan. I am just fearful

OCD worse on my period ??
Does anyone else get worse OCD symptoms (for me it’s my obsessive and intrusive thoughts, my two big ones that i struggle with). These thoughts seem to bother me so much more the few days before my period and throughout it and it feels like clockwork that is slowly gets better as time goes on. This week was so bad. Some of the worst. I have nearly made life altering decisions that I would not normally make due to these thoughts that feel so real at the time. It is hard to work on them since they are really bad for about a week every month. I cannot explain it very well. I have obsessive thoughts often but on my period they become extremely debilitating. please does anyone else have this. PS i’m 21 and have had issues with my period and my doctors think i may have endometriosis so idk if my period and hormones are just awful and the reason for this.

Relapse
Hi all, I’ve never posted on here before. I got diagnosed with OCD about a year ago. My therapist is incredible and I did start taking some SRI’s which also made my symptoms really go down. However the last week it’s like I’m back to my old symptoms of insane anxiety and not being able to sleep. I want to see if anyone has also experienced this and basically want to know if it gets better again. I’m terrified of having to change my dose for my SRI’s it doesn’t sit right with me. Thanks ❣️
