14 and on birth control

Maddie

So I’m looking for maybe another option to the pill I’m currently taking (for my horrible periods) but I don’t know what to try and want some input. I don’t need it so much as a contraceptive but more so as something to lighten my periods and I’m currently on like a ‘starter’ pill that they give you at the start to see if it works or not. It has made me more depressed around that time of the month causing me to have bad thoughts/do bad things since I already have depression, but it does make my period pain a bit better and lighten it up. But the problem is that it makes me mopey and more depressed. Any suggestions that I can talk to my mom and dr about? Thanks!
