So I thought I'd just come here and kinda lay this all out here because I just kinda need some support.
In early December, I was put on birth control for my severe menstrual cramping and also for my acne. I stopped taking it about 2 weeks ago. Not only did it not help the cramping (I had a really bad 2 day episode over vacation, almost had to go to the hospital), but it gave me horrible side effects. Anxiousness, depression, dizziness, nausea, mood swings, just feeling very, very emotional, etc. So since I've stopped taking it, the side effects have stayed the same if not gotten worse. I still feel extremely anxious sometimes, causing me to miss a lot of school and music rehearsals. The lightheadedness doesn't make it any better either. I still have days where I feel out of control and just plain depressed. I've had to leave school multiple times in the past 2 weeks. I do have stress, but before this, it's never ever been this bad. I've been seeing a counselor since about mid-November. You'd think it would get better. I really don't want to use medications to help this but it's difficult.
