I was on a generic pill called Apri from 2001-2006 but stopped due to shortness of breath. I was fine for 10 months with no problems at all. I started taking Lo Estrin in Oct 06. Since i started this pill i never felt quite right. I would take the pill at night cause if i took it during the day i would feel nutz. I started getting anxiety in my sleep. As months past I became very moody, started having severe leg cramps after numerous tests i decided to stop the pill. After stopping, i started to feel sad, angry , range of emotions I haven't experienced since I broke up with my daughters father 8 years ago, i could not stop thinking, and worrying. It was even worse. I started wondering, Could it be a hormone imbalance or PMDD. I went to my gyn he didn't seem all that concerned and wants me to try Yaz but i am not really sure i want to go on the pill. Please help!
