See your doctor PRONTO about ALL of these symptoms. They prescribed it so they will know what to do in response to what you tell them. Don't rely just on what we tell you alone.
A doctor is the only person who can lower your dosages, change meds or get you off of any pills causing these reactions that aren't normal without inviting more trouble.
Here's what bothers me and scares me that nobody brought up. The mood swings have lasted a year and are extremely severe. You've only been on BC for four of those 12 months. My hunch and it's a pretty good one is that it's not the pills.
It may be something far more different that you need to see a doctor for. You might have a mood disorder that hasn't been diagnosed that is causing all of this and could become far worse the longer you leave it unchecked. If you can't control them that suggests it's not the pills as no matter the symptoms or hormones BC pills don't do this to the extent you mentioned.
If I were you I would visit an emergency room and ask to be assessed and give them the information you gave us as trust me none of this is normal for the pills or for you and have them sort it out and place you on medication to control the mood swings.
The problem is that those mood swings if unchecked and trigger of a mood disorder can progress to severe depression and or delusional behavior or bipolar disorder. Whatever, they are they aren't normal. And yes this is considered an emergency room issue as those moods and what the pills are or aren't doing can lead to a crisis. Go tonight and get checked out.
Stress is normal unless it becomes far too much to handle and affects you adversely. All of this is controlling and ruining your life so you have to get immediate medical attention for it to avoid serious problems. They'll get you off the pills no problem but I think your problem with mood swings isn't hormonal. Boyfriend is right you need medical help regardless to fix this.

I dont know much about that type of birth control so i looked it up online and read about it. I found a article where I female said she started off with terrible headaches that eventually went away but she was very bloasted and her breats were very tender and still are and her parents and boyfriend noticed she was extremely moody. Her doctor told her it takes 3 months for the product to adjust to your body. If you are still really moody I sugest you speak with your doctor and get switched. I heard the depo shot works wonders and you dont have to worry about taking the pill every day. Also I have a friend that got that implant in your arm she said the only part that even slightly hurt was numbing her arm to place the implant.
