Q: BC Causing delusions?
asked by: LadyKitten on April 28th, 2008

I just read a post to the doctor (that I can't respond to) about a girl that seems to be having delusions that people are plotting against her and that it could be linked to her Birth Control pill. Is this possible? I've been on the pill for years now and have never had this problem till recently. All of a sudden I've been suspecting that my fiance is cheating on me. There's really no reason why I should think this, but I've even gone as far as searching his laptop for proof (checking his history, searching files and pictures). I finally broke down and told him the other night and I was crying like crazy. I felt guilty for thinking these things, but I just can't seem to help it. I'm thinking of going to counselling, but could it be caused by the birth control pills? My doctor is thinking of taking me off it because she thinks it could be leading to my high blood pressure. Now I'm going to talk to her about this. It's scary.

Birth control CAN increase mood disorders in women who have depression, anxiety, and other mental illness.

That is why I cannot use HORMONAL birth control.

I've never had depression, anxiety, or nother mental illnesses. This has only just recently started and I'm wondering if it could be because of the BC pill. But I've been on BC for over 2 years now (and before that for 5 years with a 3 year break) and have never had this. What would cause anxiety or any other problems to just all of a sudden start?
