As far as health anxiety, mine was prescribed as a preventative measure for ovarian cancer. It does have some positives. Perhaps, also, as you watch the pills decrease in the pack as the days go forth, it will help with a visual mental awareness of your cycle? More so than just crossing days off a paper calendar.

Even if you do eventually find yourself with a medication for anxiety, this can be checked off the list of either what works or what doesn't work.
