A member asked:
Is it possible to have excessive mood swings while beginning to take birth control? (hypersomnia followed by insomnia, hyperactivity to depression)
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possible: When starting OCPs, some women can experience and change in moods.I would say it is possible. If you can talk to your doc, you could either wait it out. change to a different pill and see if you have the same issues. If you can use another form of birth control and stop the pill, you will know. If you get better, then that pill was the culprit. But, work with your doctor unless you want a baby
