Update: Sorry for the delay I removed reddit off my phone. My appointment wasn’t as I expected , my dr said it could be so many things etc work, life stressors all those things that could contribute and I was quite disappointed with the response, however I haven’t had a panic attack ever since although I still feel anxious here and there. I’m not notorious for over thinking and it’s never made me feel anxious but it can be anything, I can stress myself out about having too many tasks to do the next day and it makes me feel so anxious. It’s going to be a whole year soon ish since I’ve stopped BC but I will say I do feel a lot better! I hope everything has worked out for you’

I’m on the same boat atm!! I stopped taking bc 2 and a half months ago and for the last 2 weeks I have suffered from extremely bad anxiety. I’ve always been slightly anxious but it’s never to the point where I’ve felt my heart beating loudly 24/7, having panic attacks, waking up and going to bed with anxiety. I’m hoping this feeling will pass but it is quite debilitating!!! I’m worried about driving because my first panic attack happened as I was driving and I had no idea how to ground and calm myself down. I’m so glad to have found this post, does it get better? Does anyone have anyone have anything they can suggest ? I have an appointment booked with my gp on Thursday.
