Mircette and yaz

I started on Mircette about a year and a half ago. Since then, I have experienced extreme anxiety, migraines, depression (crying for no reason), numbness and tingling in my arms, hands, head, face, and neck. Before this, I was a very easy going gal. Now I get nervous around crowds, in restaurants, movie theaters, and have had to change my lifestyle so much, that I don't even go out with friends as much and feel like I am losing control of my life and body. I just saw my doctor today (she is my new dr. and did not prescribe Mircette to me). She said since I have Migraines, I shouldn't even be taking Mircette, which has a very high dose of progesterone. She said 1 in 20 women cannot take high amounts of progesterone and that she never would have given me this pill. She advised me to go off the pill for 3 months to see how I feel. Hopefully, I will feel like myself again :)

I am extremely bloated on this pill, my pants don't fit anymore. Although I find that this happens with all BC pills, even Yaz that had a diuretic, so I am now going off the pill, I wish men could take pills.
