Feeling Paranoid

So I have been on the LoEstrin birth control pill for about 4 months now and I feel as though it hasn't helped me and all it's done is make me have extreme mood swings, plus it's making my anxiety worse. I'm scared that if I come off the pill I will break out more and I really don't know what to do.. Any advice would be helpful?

After only 4 months, your body is not that likely to experience any severe withdrawal, like a breakout. However, it is certainly not uncommon for people to break out after going off the pill, so really there is no answer other than 'maybe' to that question.

You have to decide for yourself if you want to stay on the pill or not. If you do, there are other good options that might suit you better, and if you don't, you might as well get off it now. I wouldn't give it any more than a couple more months if you're unhappy.

Best of luck!
