Hello, I have made an appointment to see my Doctor next week.  My thoughts re that I may need some kind of help with my thought processess.  I come from a broken home and have had two failed marriages, I am 40.  I have recently started dating a lovley gentleman after a few years on my own with my two children, one from each marraige, I know, makes eastenders look tame dosnt it!  However, though I am a naturally insecure person, which I know I have to work on, I feel that since taking femodene I have become more anxious.  I have been taking them for two months.  I would love to hear any thoughts you may have on this subject.
Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor. Thanks for your query. Feminine is a hormonal contraceptive pill that contains ethinylestradiol and gemstone. Hormonal pills can have a side effect causing mood changes, but this is usually mild and transient. However, it is possible that some persons may experience significant mood or anxiety symptoms due to the medication. If your anxiety symptoms are not severe, the would suggest that you try relaxation exercises like deep breathing, progressive muscle relaxation, yoga, meditation, etc. and try to stay as stress-free as possible. If your symptoms are severe and unmanageable, then you should report this to your doctor to see if an alternative medication can be tried.  Wish you all the best.
