A member asked:

Can being on the pill make you more emotional? i've been feeling very teary and upset and irritable since taking it

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: One of the potential side effects of the pill is worsening of some PMS symptoms and mood swings. Sounds like you might need to change pill types to a different progesterone. However, since teens often forget to take their pill, check a pregnancy test if sexually active.
