Does Intake Of Alesse Trigger Anxiety?

Hello, My doctor just recently put me on Alese BC for PMS symptoms , perimenpause symptoms and painful periods. I am 44 yrs old and have suffered with anxiety in the past. Just wondering if this pill in particular could be making my anxiety worse? are there other options I should be looking at to deal with all these things going on in my life? Thanks
