Story:
i am 18 years old and I have been taking anamai birth control for the last 7 months. I have never heard of this brand and I got it off an online pharmacy. The price was right and I did not want to go to planned parenthood and could not afford a gynaecologist.
For about the last 4 or 5 months I have been having major mood swings, boughts of depression, very low sex-drive, and have generally felt as if i've been in a sort of 'fog' and not myself at all. I also developed an ovarian cyst which caused me great pain to the point that I had to quit my job. Luckily, the pain has subsided very greatly in about the last 3 months and i'm able to work again. In the last month I have been having anger problems, over very little things, and basically frustrated by almost everything. Recently I attributed these things to the birth control and have stopped taking it.

Question:
is my birth control the cause of these problems, and if so, is there any type of birth control that has a lower dose of hormones? (i've heard of yaz. But cannot find any real information on it.) if not is there any other alternatives (non-hormone therepy) that may work?
