Q: Birth Control - Low Self Esteem?

Does anyone know if certain birth control pills have side effects including anxiety, nervousness, insecurity and low self esteem?

I seem to notice this has happened lately and I never noticed it when I was off the pill. :( :shock:

Hey, I was on a generic brand of orthotricylcen lo and I felt like the first week of pills made me very depressed/anxious/nervous/etc. I heard this can happen to other women on the pill as well. I switched my pill and felt fine afterwards. :) good luck
