My experience : Been taking birth control for 10 years and all of a sudden experiencing intense anxiety/insomnia

---

I have been taking the combo pill Larissia since I was 17 years old (I originally started for acne). I’m 27 now, and I have never known my body off birth control.

I feel like for the majority of the time I have been taking this pill, it has been just fine. All of a sudden (around 6 months ago) I started to feel really intense anxiety. It has been so bad it prevents me from sleeping due to a racing heart.

I don’t really get stressed out easily so I’m thinking it could be the hormonal bc. I saw my doctor and she prescribed me a sleeping pill, however I don’t want to depend on it.

Has anyone experienced this after years of being on the pill? Did you switch to a non-hormonal option? I am seriously considering getting off hormonal birth control. I feel like I’m going crazy.
