The Pill & Depression

Hi guys. So basically I’ve been on several brands of birth control (Nikki, Tri Sprintec, Yaz, Lutera) at first I was using it for acne but now I just use it to have more control over my body and when I have an active sex life. With pretty much all of them though my mental health starts going downhill after about a month or two on the pill. My emotions start going on such a rollercoaster and I slowly feel more depressed. A few months on Nikki and it got to the point I couldn’t get through the day without crying about every little thing and normally my emotions are very stable. A few days off the pill and I feel back to normal. I really would like to keep taking birth control so I was wondering if anyone has had a similar experience and/or knows any other brands I could try? (preferably combo pill but doesn’t have to be).
