depression and birthcontrol

Tweet

I have been on birth control for about 3-4 years now. I was on the patch for the majority of that time until all the reports came out about blood clots. I switched to the pill and have became very depressed on it. I no longer care about anything or get excited about life. I went to see my doctor who prescribed yasmine. She told me that yasmine may work better because it gives you a more steady dose of hormones.I havent started yasmine yet because I still have to finish the pack I am on, which by the way is the generic version of orthro tri cyclen. I wanted to know if anyone else has experienced depression on the pill as well and if so did you find anything that worked for you?
