Re: Can ORTHOTRICYCLINE cause mood swings?

Hi,

I just wanted you to know that I've also been wondering about mood swings and orthotri-cyclene. I feel a lot of the same things you described. But I've also been diagnosed with hypothyroidism and have 5 month old twins. So I don't know if the emotional roller coaster I'm on is being caused by the pills, my thyroid, or being a new mommy. Just wanted you to know that there's someone else out there who's feeling "paranoid" from orthotri-cyclene... I also had skin problems which cleared up from ortho and I don't want to give that up either...
