I did some hunting, there is a "healthy, body, etc. " area of the forums that I think might have better information. The menopause thread is especially helpful and addresses some hormone therapy and associated side effects.

I went back on birth control a few months ago to prevent ovarian cysts (I've had 2 in my life) and I think the hormones are aggravating my obsessive behaviors. When I was in high school and was put on birth control I am CERTAIN that it made my eating disorder worse. And eating disorders are a kind of OCD. So, do you think that's possible? And has anyone experienced anything similar? (obsessive behaviors getting better or worse as a side effect of taking hormones)
I'm not on anything aside from the Nuvaring, so it isn't a weird drug interaction. Thanks in advance for any thoughts you may have on this issue.
