Birth Control & Depression?

Question

I'm deciding whether or not I want to get on birth control. I've heard that it can make you depressed or worsen your depression. I'm currently on an antidepressent right now and it's well controlled and I don't want to mess it up! However I want to be safe while having sex.

Has anyone experienced depression while on the pill? Would you reccomend the pill?

PLEASE HELP 😰

Answer

Am a generally happy person to begin with but the pill seriously fucked with me. Depressed and anxious to the max. I stopped taking it like 5ish months ago and am still recovering. Not worth it in my opinion!

Answer

Girl, I feel you. I'd consider Nuvaring. It's a very low dose of hormones, so it won't cause huge shifts of mood swings and other symptoms. I don't know what medication you're on, but I've been on Zoloft for a few years and found it worked just fine with my Nuvaring. Good luck!
