Emily-- the pill OR the patch--I've been on both. I am working on a theory that the pill or the patch, or any hormonal birth control (the new ring is included here) causes big panic issues during the week women don't take them--the period week. I'm not sure why; I think the sudden stop in what had been a regular level of hormonal activity may be to blame. If any one has been having the same problems and is on the Pill, I'd like to know. My first series of panic attacks came after I stopped taking the pill--and was related to my period since it happened the same day in my cycle, with the same headaches and same panic. I'm not saying do without birth control, but I think it is significant that I know so many women who suffer from the same symptoms with the same chemical variable.
