I AM on the pill and I take it daily but Im wondering - should I still take the plan b pill?, or should I be okay?.I was told that taking the plan b pill just makes your hormones crazy if youre already using birth control (its like overload).but we're a bit freaked out anyway and I plan to go tomorrow to pick up the plan b pill but thought id get opinions anyway.

 No dont take the Plan B pill, there is really no need. Basically you should only use Plan B if you have had unprotected sex - while your condom broke you are still protected by the birth control. I cant find anything that says what taking a plan B pill would do when you already take birth control - but I really dont think it will do your health any favours! I suggest you ring your doctor for advice if you are really worried - dont take the plan B pill unless you know it will be safe to take with your normal birth control.
Many people (including me) have sex just using the birth control pill and dont use condoms (me and my boyfriend have both been tested for STD's) - I have never had a pregnancy scare in my history of doing this. The pill is very effective and I am certain that you wont be pregnant from this. Keep in mind how the pill works - it stops your body releasing an egg, so if there is no egg then your boyfriend's sperm cannot fertilise anything at all = no baby.
I think you are over-reacting here and worrying about nothing, the pill rarely fails and you were on your period anyway much reducing your fertility (even though there is no egg anyway!).
I really dont think it is a good idea to take the plan B pill, I dont think it is worth risking your health when you have no idea what it might do to you, especially when the chance of you being pregnant is so very very very tiny. I would imagine taking the Plan B pill would interfere with your birth control pill actually reducing its effectivness so it might actually work against you, meaning that you may have more chance of getting pregnant if you have sex again because you have messed with your birth control pill.
If you are still worried about being pregnant then please speak to a doctor before you take anything, I dont think it is wise just to take the Plan B pill just because you are scared over being prengant from this as the chances are so miniscule.
I hope this helps and good luck!

 You should be safe but the anxieties and worries may torment you non stop till your next period.
It would be easier to take plan B than to have an abortion,if what you feared will come to pass.
