A member asked:

Is it normal to have behavioral changes after starting birth control?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Sometimes: I've seen it. This seems to be especially true with pills that contain drospirenone (like Yaz (drospirenone and ethinyl estradiol) and yasmin).

Dr Ali and another doctor agreed
