Hello, my wife is taking Mercilon and also suffers serious anxiety attacks, depression and feelings of paranoia, which always get worse around the time of her period. She is a health care professional and is taking the pill correctly, but has always warned me that contraceptive hormones have, in the past, made her 'evil'. I am starting to believe this, as she is ultra sensitive, very bitter, hateful of everyone, and angry, taking even light hearted humour very personally, and most definitely not accepting any form of criticism of her behaviour or actions. At times she vocalises that she does not feel herself and worries she's going mad. Just recently, she fell out with her family. Could the Mercilon be responsible?
