A member asked:
Why do some women appear very agitated and moody after starting birth control?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pill & moodiness: One of the reasons for moodiness and birth control pills is that they can decrease tryptophan metabolism, which is important in the Dopamine pathway in the brain. This is the site of action of drugs like prozac (fluoxetine). Try taking 50mg vitamen b6 every day - this is a coenzyme in this Dopamine pathway.
