Should I Stop Taking Levest After Getting Anxious, Irritated, Paranoid About Boyfriend, Weakness?

I have been taking levest for a couple of years now and never had any problems. Over the last few months I have become very anxious, crying over nothing, getting irritated by the smallest things and more recently have been paranoid that my boyfriend is cheating on me regardless of the fact that we are always together. I ve also had next to no energy even after a full nights sleep. I feel weak all the time. Is this a sign that I should stop taking it?

HI,
You had been takng livest for last 2 years, You never had any untoward reaction all these days. Actually, Levest is a contraceptive pill,is not known to have psychological side effects.I feel your symptoms are partly due to your weakness & psychological stress.More over,if you withdraw Levest suddenly, you may loose the contraceptive protection.
Let present pack be finished,after that you can change contraceptive,if you re very much doubtful.
Consult a doctor for some nutritional supplements so as to mprove your health.
Also consult a psychotherapist for stress management.
Thanks.
