It made mine worse, A lot of women who have anxiety actually have to take anti depressants with their birth control to even out the nasty side effects from it. I'm not saying that will definitely happen to you, but it might. The pill can cause anxiety and depression and severe mood swings, it's actually notorious for doing just that, so at best, your anxiety level will likely remain the same, if it does not worsen. I hope for you that it doesn't.
