Mood swings and depression from morning after pill?
I took the morning after pill about 10 days ago and I started my period two days ago. My period is extremely heavy now, heavier than ever before! That is only the beginning of the problem though. I have been so depressed in the past week (starting maybe 24 to 48 hours after I took the morning after pill) and yesterday I was furious with anyone who talked to me...about ANYTHING! Everything made me mad I was so moody.
So, after a big crying fit I had yesterday (that completely ruined my day and embarrassed me), I remembered that I took the morning after pill. I had heard it is sort-of like birth control pills only in a much higher dosage, but I'm not sure if that is true. Am I understanding correctly?
Is all of this (the heavy bleeding, sudden bursts of rage, and horrible depression) related to the morning after pill I took? Maybe I'm just too sensitive to the pill? Should I see a doctor? It really feels like my hormones are going crazy and I'm so depressed now (and I've never been like this; it's awful)! :(

Yes you should see a doctor because there is a good chance you may be having some serious sideaffects to the pills.

I highly recommend you see a dr, preferably a gineocologist, because as you pointed out, all of these symptoms seem like side effects of plan b.
I would also recommend that you withhold from taking anymore doses of the morning after pill until you seek advice from a professional and give him/her specifics on all the above mentioned symptoms.
Hope everything works out,
