I was wondering if anyone had any experience using birth control to regulate hormonal problems. I currently have a non-hormonal iud and am thinking of looking into my other options. As of right now I have very bizarre anxiety and nausea the week after my period. It's resulted in a loss of over 75lbs and a complete change in my daily life. I've gone through the ringer with tests ie: blood work, ct scans, endoscopy etc. Nothing has shown up and after talking to my gyno we've narrowed it down to a correlation between menstruation and symptoms. I've had a terrible experience with both the shot and patch gaining weight, moodiness, lack of sex drive, but have no idea about the myriad of birth control pills out there. Specifically I've looked into lybrel and seasonique because the elimination of a period has hopes of stemming the problem but I'm worried about some of the side effects i've read about. Any personal experience from anyone with previous anxiety/panic attacks who has used these? Did the pill make them worse? Thanks!
