Birth Control

My doctor has recently has recently started me skipping my placebo pills and continuing to my next pack due to mood swings on anxiety on my period.  Today should of been the first day  of my period and I feel completely "off".  I feel dizzy and light headed, along with anxious, has any one had these feelings before?  I have to continue this until November.  if you could let me know your thoughts that would be great!  Thank you

Doctors are only supposed to have you do that if your periods are extremely painful, extremely heavy, or if you have endometriosis. You should be having them every month because your body is not made to withstand having them suppressed. (I am 16 and have endometriosis and I have had to get mine suppressed to only having two a year since I get put in the hospital with to much blood loss and pain.) Go back to the gyno and tell him/her what you experienced and ask for a different option. They should give you a medicine that will calm the mood swings and anxiety.
