So I started birth control on Sunday. My anxiety has been high but manageable. Last night I woke up gasping for air but I’ve been having sleep issues. But I’ve never woken up like that. I’ve had a scratchy throat all day. Around 1 I started really not feeling good. I then got incredibly mad at my mom and screamed at her. I think that episode was related to me not feeling good since I haven’t yelled at her like that in years. Now I have the chills and I am shaky and just am not feeling good. I also have the weird throat feeling I had when I woke up gasping for air. Is this all this like a reaction to the birth control maybe? Or am I getting the flu? I feel really anxious and sick right now.

my suggestion is contact your treatment providers..

they can tell you how birth control pills work, they should not be causing you to have sleep apnia (trouble breathing while sleeping) and usually do not cause anxiety attacks or mood swings. they are made special just for controlling whether or not your ovaries release an egg or not. most people including me here find being on birth control actually stabilizes PMS and mood swings because theres the added hormones keeping things stable in the pills.

yea think you may need to contact your treatment providers they can tell you more about birth control pills and what and how they work.

Call your doctor. My daughter can’t do any birth control but IUD. Everything else always made her very very sick. Mentally and physically

Now I am downright physically sick with some type of cold virus. So that’s probably why I was feeling moody yesterday and possibly these past few days as well.

It does sound like a virus, but you might want to contact your doc just to make sure.
