The Pill
Over a week ago I began taking the pill. The one called Dianette because i suffer from bad skin aswell. After a couple of days of taking it i noticed my moods dramatically changing. I get mardy and upset at the slightest things. I snap and get angry a lot too and its beginning to affect my relationship. I was taking the same pills for 3 months starting in about august and had the same effects. Has anybody else had this experience with these pills? Will I adjust to them if i take them for more than 3 months or would you advise going back to the doctor and asking to change pills?

Any time you take any birth control pill, you are affecting the hormone balance in your body (and your brain in particular) fairly significantly. These hormone changes can affect your mood. With most drugs you take regularly, your brain eventually recalibrates itself to function normally with the change in hormones. This change can take different times for normal people.
You can try taking another pill, but a new pill may just start the whole change over again. In any instance, if it really bothers you, I would talk it over with your gynecologist and take his/her advice over anything you find here.
In the meantime I would practice trying to control these emotions and ask your boyfriend for a little extra tolerance while you're making this transition. Try to take ten seconds to think whether it's really worth it before you get upset. Going on gut instinct while you're somewhat of a hormonally imbalanced individual can cause things you might really regret. Hope this helps.

I have had a similar experience where i would find myself getting upset over dumb things and getting angry at the slightest thing and end up laughing about it, i just had to do something stress free or go out with friends to help relieve the emotional roller coaster. I eventually adjusted after a week or two, you see the pill is contributing to more estrogen production that your body is not use to which tends to make you more emotional than usual. I would wait it out and if you do not feel like your moods have come back to normal (which they should once your body adjusts) then go to your gyno and see if you can get a lower dosage on your pills or even a different brand that your doctor suggests.
any other questions feel free to ask
