I have been taking Ovcon-35 and its various generics for about 11 years. The only time I wasn't on them was when I was pregnant and for a period of time after. I have never had any problems. This last year has been a different story. The same generic I have been taking for the last 2 years had started causing some irregularities in my cycle and causing migraines, so I made an appointment with my OBGYN to discuss other options. When I picked up my new pills last week I noticed that they were a different generic for Ovcon-35 than what I have been taking these last couple of years. Today is day 7 on these pills and over the last week I have felt anxious and today is the worst. I feel like I am going to crawl out of my skin. My heart is pounding, my body feels weak and shaky all over. I feel I am on the verge of a full blown panic attack. The only thing I have been doing differently is taking this new pill. I exercise 4-6 days a week, I eat right and am taking the same supplements I have been taking forever. I have a call into my doctor's office and I am waiting to hear back from the nurse. I am so tempted to not take my pill tonight or for the next few days and see if that helps and just use a backup method if needed. I know I am driving my poor bf crazy. We rarely ever fight, but this week I can't seem to let things go and I feel like I have no control over my emotions. I never knew birth control could have this effect. Again, 11 years and I have never had an issue. Maybe my body is different now that I am in my 30's.
