Emergency Contraceptive Pill and Depression

Courtney

Hey ladies,

So I suffer with mild to medium depression and I recently took the Emergency Contraceptive Pill (progestin-only EC) and have had the biggest breakdown I've had in quite a while. I have some other things going on as well but I'm pretty sure this extreme low is somewhat due to the ECP.

I took it 5 days ago and on the first 3 days I was extremely anxious and the past 2 days extremely depressed (can't get out of bed and crying all day).

Has anyone else had similar experiences from taking this ECP??
