What Causes Insomnia Post Intake Of Contraceptive Pills?
Hello. I have a question regarding emergency contraceptives. I had to use plan b on 2/25/16 after unprotected sex. I had some anxiety and depression. After this my partner and I decided to start using condoms and then had one rip on and on 4/22 I had to take another pill because I was not on any other birth control. I am experiencing severe insomnia since then and I can not fall asleep. Is this due to the large dosage of hormones? Is there a way for this to be reversed or for these hormones to be rebalanced? Will time rebalance the hormones. I went to get my hormone levels checked and estrogen was high in the liteal phase at 524.2

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, if this is the symptoms of insomnia then it is not due to the hormone medicine (Oral contraceptive) but it is due to anxiety and depression it is better to see the psychiatrist hope this information helps.
