Have you considered trying a different pill?

Since hormones effect mood and the pill of course effects hormones it could just be your body needing an adjustment.

I had changed a while bad because I thought I was just angery all the time for no reason and it took 4 tries to find the right one. Two of the popular pills, Yasmin and Alesse made me the most hystrical, moody irrational bloated insane person - it was like I was possessed - hell I was scared of me.

I dropped all hormones for about 3 months and tried mircette which so far (about 9 or so months) has been a good match. Quite honestlty, if it wasn't for the beau hating them I'd be content to use condoms and no hormones.
