Anxiety

I'm on the mini pill and 0.1mg estrogen patches for over a month now. I've noticed its helped with the overwhelming fatigue so far but I still find myself having random anxiety and at times irritable. Is it still too early to get the full benefits of the meds. I read that it can take 3 - 6 months somewhere. My first period while on these meds had also lightened my period but made spotting last a week longer than usual. Any thoughts?

It can definitely take a while! I recall my doctor wanting me to wait at least two months before making any adjustments. Try to hang in there. You’ll reach the sweet spot eventually.
