4 months ago I was diagnosed with PCOS (I also have type1 diabetes) and was put on Co-cyprindiol to help with my irregular periods and bad acne. Over the last four months I and my friends and family have noticed how much more stressed and agitated I seem, I get really angry over the stupidest things and lash out when I don't mean to I also noticed my arms get really tense when a mood swing builds up and it makes me want to throw or hit something. This is not like me at all. And its not like depression which I did suffer from for a short time in my teens. I do actually have a lot to cope with at the moment but I normally cope with stress a lot better than I am at the moment. I have tried to do some research in to this and the only thing I can find is that it can cause mild depression (this is also listed in the side effects). I have also put in a stone and a half in weight since I started taking this and my diet hasn't changed at all. What I would really like to know is has anyone else experienced higher stress levels or any of the things I've mentioned above while taking this?
I would really appreciate some help as I'm getting know where with my GP or Diabetes consultant. Thanks
