Does anyone know or think that starting the birth control pill will effect our anxiety?

It depends. Each person reacts differently. I specifically requested a low dose pill. I've been taking it for two months now. I was really scared to start taking the pill but I appreciate the peace of mind it brings (not having to worry about getting pregnant!) I don't think it's affected my anxiety. I mean, I still have anxiety but it's not any worse than it was before I started taking the pill.

If you start taking the pill and you have a bad reaction to it you can always request a different type/brand from your doctor.
