I was diagnosed as 'clinically depresed' a long time ago, like 15 years ago. I feel I have more symptoms of BPD or bipolar II. I am currently being treated with Zoloft, 100mg a day, and seemed to be doing alright - not great, but alright - for quite some time.
Recently, I stopped taking birth control pills. I was taking Seasonale, which I was told by my obgyn was a low dose pill. This has coincided with a dramatic resurgence of many of my problems, including anxiety disorders, major mood swings, and suicidal idealogy. I have held a job for the past six weeks, but my job involves approaching people and asking them questions. Which I know find I cannot do without suffering a panic attack. Things had been going well at home, but of course my mood and anger towards everything is now jeopardizing that.
Has anyone had issues with birth control pills and depression like this?
