I have been on Ortho Evra for a year now. I have been diagnosed with PCOS, although, aside from being irregular I haven't ever had any other symptoms with it. I went on Ortho Evra because I was really anemic, and the irregularity was annoying me, so the patches fixed both. I loved it up until the past month or two when I started noticing that I'm becoming crazy.
Slowly I've become really paranoid and been thinking really morbid things. For two weeks I didn't get a full night of rest because I repeatedly woke up to check if my dog had died in her sleep. I really was freaking out, because that dog is my child. I've never been one to be paranoid or worried, about death no less. Little things like that have become so amplified that I think something is really wrong. I cry over nothing, I take things people say to me the wrong way and get upset. I've been really stressed latley, which would make sense, except its not anxiety, its just crazy paranoia, and usually I do well with stress.
I thought, maybe I'm pregnant by some freak chance even though I do birth control like a saint, so I just tested and I'm not pregnant. I don't have a clue what to do. I'm switching birth control this week, to a nuva ring, but I'm affraid that this will not change things. I don't know if this is normal or not.
