Switching types on the pill, how long till the mood swings go away?!
Question: On the birth control pill.
Im not on it for sex, but I'm meant to take the last pill Saturday, but I lost one of the pills, so basically now my last day will be Friday (tomorrow) Then I'll start the new type the next Sunday.
So when will the mood swings go (if they even will) because they're losing me friends!
Will I stilll be a total ***** next week when I'm on nothing, I can't remember from the previous months, or will nothing change till I start the new ones?

It could take approx. up to 3 months for mood swings to go away, however that doesn't always mean that they WILL disappear. Some birth control pills make us women even more psycho than what our male counterparts would say is normal (hehe).
Because you have switched birth control pills, your new one has a different forumla and different progestin which causes mood swings. Your body may or may not adjust to the new levels.
If by chance your moods do not get better and/or they get worse sooner than later and you KNOW it is not you and you KNOW that they are getting worse, then make an appointment with your doctor to discuss switching. It's frustrating (ohh boy do I know...after 4 prescriptions!) but it might be worth it. If you suddenly feel like you are crying all the time, are worthless, hopeless, anger outbursts over hardly anything, etc., it could be a sign of depression and it could be directly related to your birth control pill. In which case, make an appointment with your doctor right away.
Give it a little more time to see how it goes. I know it's more than frustrating to deal with and I know some people do not understand how a PILL can make someone feel this way and act this way.
