I was wondering if you are able to get medications for anxiety while taking birthcontrol? I'm going to be going to my doctor soon but I don't want to ask her for anxiety medication unless I know you are able to mix the two.


Last time I went to her about my anxiety/depression, she almost took me off the pills and wanted me to just use condoms and have morning after pills with me. I didn't want to do that at all. I rely on birth control pills, even though they've made me a lot more moody.


It's not as though i've suddently gotten anxiety... I can't exactly blame the pills. I've had anxiety ever since I can remember. It's just that now things in my life are changing, work, school, boyfriend problems... And I just want something that will help me stay calm and relax durng the times I panic. I want to be able to function normally while at work... Right now i'm a mess and it's effecting my health and my job.


Does anyone know, or is anyone taking bcp along with depression/anxiety medications? Do you know if it's safe? Do you know if medications lower the effectiveness of birth control?


Thank youu...
