I previously had a panic attack and anxiety before I went on birth control for my cramps, and while it could be debilitating some days, it was quick to handle after some self-coaching. However, once I was on the pill, it didn't take long for me to become obsessive about the stupidest things, and to have nightmares about death and killings. I went to two therapists that didn't help, neither did my gyno. So finally I just stopped it. And my mood is elevated, my anxiety has lowered and I'm in a content place. The only thing that sucks is the extremely painful cramps but I'll get used to it again.
