I’m about done with my birth control I feel like I’ve gone mad since taking them I have been so depressed and anxious. Constantly on edge. My obgyn says it’s dangerous to miss my period. It’s more dangerous for me to be in this mental state

Missing a period isn’t necessarily the end of the world. Definitely could be problematic if you weren’t on BC but some forms make it seem to disappear. I agree with others that you need an OBGYN who WILL LISTEN TO YOU!!! It’s your body and if you feel like you’re going crazy you need a doc who will help you figure out another option for BC

I have not been well at all. It’s even been to the point I’ve been scared of myself because I’ve been so mentally out of control while being on these pills. I’d rather come what may the effects of missing cycles than whatever this is

Ask to change methods! There are dozens of different synthetic progesterones and each one can impact you differently along with the estrogen content and delivery method. Missing periods IS dangerous, but there’s not just one way to combat that.

I stopped cold turkey one day because it was negatively affecting my anxiety meds and was giving me terrible acne issues

I would see another obygyn. There are alternate solutions to most issues and if ur obygyn wont even go over them then not a good one
