Hello,
I have gone through your query and understood the concern. Firstly, I would not suggest such frequent use of emergency pills since they tend to tilt the hormone balance badly owing to their high hormone content. Their use should be restricted to one or two occasions per year. In the current scenario, you can go for anxiolytics like Alprazolam in low doses after consulting your health care provider to tide over the mood swings. You can also try breathing exercises and yoga. Please use regular contraception in future. Hope this helps.
