Take Logynon, Have Mood Swings And Anxiousness. Is It Because Of The Pill?

Hi I m 22 I have been on logynon for 7 years now and only the past two months I have been getting mood swings and crying and I think it may be my pill as I feel fine on my break and in the first couple of days on my pill everything else is fine but I feel down and anxious at times and my sex drive is really feeling it the past few months too

Hi there, thanks for asking. It is true this medication can cause mood swings. If you have found such a relation between your mood and the medication, you may consult your doctor to change the method of your prevention. Or if it is hard to find a substitute for this method, you may consult with your doctor to give you a medication (mostly from the class of SSRI if there is no risk of bipolarity) or you may enrolled in some talk sessions to help you cope better with your probable difficulties. I wish you find a good way to deal with.

Psychiatrist Dr. Srikanth Reddy's  Response
Hello,
Thanks for posting a query in health care magic.
From the description that you have stated it appears that your mood swings might be associated with your medication use. You should try switching to some other medications so that the mood swings can be controlled. If the symptoms persist you will need additional psychotropics. Regarding your sexual drive, iot has more to do with the relationship issue. make sure that there is nothing wrong in your relationship with your spouse. If it still persists, then it may also be due to your medications.

Hope I am able to solve your concerns.
If you need any further details, you can contact me directly by using the below mentioned link:
