I had very similar things happen to me as you Switch .. What pill were you on if you don't mind my asking?? (I was on Yaz for almost a year, then Loestrine for 3-4 months)

I would absolutely FREAK on my boyfriend and storm out of his house running down the road sobbing and punching every telephone pole I passed. A few times I banged my head over and over for no great reason. It was always on my poor boyfriend though.. I would just set off and get super mad and for no reason. I would say terrible things to him and then not remember them once I was over it. My hands would go all rigid and stuff (it's hard to explain) but I would literally NEED to hit something, and it was usually myself. It scared the hell out of me. I went to a therapist who was not right for me at all, and stopped after only a few sessions, haven't tried to find another one. He said I may be bipolar while I was still seeing him. I stopped taking the pills because it was just unbearable and guess what.. got pregnant! Exactly what I needed . I was not ready for being a mother, not the way I was. I'm not proud of it, but I had an abortion in November and was just an absolute wreck. I drank and smoked weed like it was my job and things came back together after a few months. Went on Loloestrine in November, which hasn't bothered me yet (I have been on since). I'm going to get a non-hormonal IUD put in in a few weeks, I can't wait. Because I am constantly afraid that I am just going to slip back into that loss of control over myself.
