"i had been using tri-sprintec for about 8 months before switching. while taking this birth control i became a complete nutcase. my emotions were a constant roller coaster, i developed severe anxiety, and i couldn&#039;t understand why i was always depressed. the smallest things brought me to tears and i was not in the least bit acting myself. after 8 months of feeling like a looney bin my doctor and i discussed my birth control. little did i know that it had 3 estrogen levels that increase over the month which he said could definitely be responsible for my 8 months of sudden anxiety and increased emotions. my doctor switched me to junel fe, which has the lowest possible level of estrogen, it has been a month and i finally feel like myself again."
