You know, it's funny you bring up birth control... because I sometimes wonder if birth control pills may be the real source of my anxiety. It MAY be coincidence, but I was cool as a cucumber before being put on BCP when I was 16. After that, I started getting more nervous all the time, and I do notice I'm less anxious in that off week of the pill cycle. I've been on Levlen most of the time, with some other kinds in between (switching for skin reasons). I'm sorry, I know what I'm talking about it is only vaguely related, but I have considered that as a source of my problems. Is there any research on this kind of thing? Do they really know? Just interesting to consider. Wouldn't that be fabulous if my anxiety became controlable without meds after stopping BCP? But eh, I think not getting pregnant outweighs that benefit right now.
Sorry, I'm babbling. I'll stop now.
