I took microgynon 30 for about 4 years, i didn't experience any weight gain or increase in anxiety. Infact anxiety was probably decreased because i wasn't fearful about becoming pregnant and PMS became non - existent! The downside was a dimished sex drive.I don't take them now cos i just feel like i'm taking too many drugs, what with prozac, lorazepam, benedryl etc !
When is the male pill going to be made avaliable?.........its about time !!!!!!
> i am being very much pressured to take birth control pills, as the boy very much hates condoms. i can't say i'm pleased with them either.
>
> howver, with my precarious emotional state, i am afraid to try anything with may cause anxiety or weight gain (eating disorder issues). i've read that birth control pills have improved very much in the past years re: these issues, but i'd like to hear from women actually on birth control. did it change your mood or weight?
