Hi There, I Have A Few Questions Regarding The Pill

Hi there,

I have a few questions regarding the pill and how it can affect a woman's mood.
I have been on the pill for over 2 years and for the past 6-12 months i have felt so much anxiety and I can become very moody. I have never had a full good day, i can wake up feeling great but by the end of it i can become irrational and very emotional over the smallest things. Im hoping the pill is escalating this, but i do understand that I can suffer from anxiety but its gone way overboard and i'm hoping there are other methods i can use. I'd like to know if i am able to switch pill brands? I understand their are many side effects that vary with different brands but i'm willing to gain weight over feeling anxious and emotional all the time.
Please help, i just need some advice at the best way to go about this.
If theres anything else that could help my mood swings please let me know
Thanks
