I was taking Ortho Tri-Cyclen for about 3 years(free of any problems or concerns because I think I was too young to notice) and then I stopped taking them for almost 2 years and now I'm on Tri-Sprintec(for 4 months now) and I swear it's making me crazy. I've always had a little depression in my moods and some swings here and there but I've never experienced a roller coaster like this before. It usually starts the first day going up and by the third day I feel like I've been through loops. I'm angry, upset, depressed, tired but can't sleep, very sad and when I try to pinpoint why I'm any of these things I can't. I yell at my boyfriend and my friends(who all sort of just put up with it) and pick fights for no plausible reason. I've become nervous and paranoid at my work, tho some days are definatly better than others. My period only lasts for like 3 days tops(if that). My life has become a blur and I get confused and sidetracked easily(though I don't know if I attribute that last part to the pill, I call that short attention span:)
I wouldn't have thought to connect it to taking this pill but it pretty much started in the end of the 2nd month/start of the third and has not changed since. I mean I feel like I'm becoming manic or something. I know I was not always like this. I thought it was going to help but now I'm wondering if it's worth it(and if it even is connected). Has anyone else noticed a change in mood? Is this all in my head?(LOL the way I've been lately I don't know if that would surprise me)
On a side note, my skin has cleared quite considerably but in the week of white pills it usually breaks out a little(this is when my mood starts leveling out again). I think that acne is something that sucks but if the only good thing by taking a pill, that could make you feel like youre going crazy, is blemish-free skin, I say stick to Clearasil and stay away from greasy foods.
