Psychiatrist,  's  Response
Hello Welcome to HCM

Mercilon is a combined contraceptive pill and this medicine can cause mood swings, irritability, anger outbursts, lability and emotional outbursts. The drug can aggravate depression in susceptible persons. Hormonal change can be the main reason behind. As per my advise ask your husband for using condoms as they are safer mode of contraception. Apart from that you can go for Progesterone only pills. This method is relatively free of mood side effects.

Consult a psychiatrist if problem of mood swings and irritability persist.
THANKS
