1st February 2008
I've tried every single pill and method known to woman kind. I've had a problem every single time.
The patch would not stay stuck to me and I gained weight and went crazy, the ring gave me some weird yellow discharge and would not stay up inside me, orthotricyclen (both regular and lo) gave me MAJOR depression and near psychotic symptoms.
So it's been condoms only for me for years. I've had no problems. However, lately I feel major anxiety because condoms alone just don't seem like enough. Plus my cycle is very irregular. If I'm 5 days late (not uncommon while not on the pill) I absolutely freak out and have panic attacks because I think I am pregnant. My anxiety has worsened because I went off my Zoloft for the first time in years.
The ONLY pill I somewhat tolerated a few years ago was Aviane. I took it for 6 months and it was pretty good. Then I started bleeding for about a month straight. So the doctor took me off it. I recently went to another doctor who told me the first doctor was wrong to do this. All I needed was a week of extra estrogen to stop the shedding of the uterus or something. Should I give Aviane one last chance? Since I'm off my Zoloft, do you think I will go "crazy" like I did on Ortho?
