just wondering if anyone has actually experienced any depression as a side effect of taking the pill?
just wanting to know how common a side effect it is.
it is something i am willing to entertain as a cause of my current down-ness. however, i am also willing to believe that it is my depression coming back.
currently confused

If you think your depression is unrelated to the pill then you should also talk to your GP - the quicker you seek help the less it will get you down. You can also try the following organisations:
Careline
Telephone counselling service for children, young people and adults on any issue, including relationships, depression, mental health, child abuse, bullying, rape and sexual assault, domestic violence, addictions, stress etc.
Telephone: 020 8875 0500
www.careline.org.uk
Depression Alliance
Charity offering information and self-help groups.
Telephone: 0845 123 23 20; www.depall.org
The helpline is charged at a local rate and will automatically put you through to your nearest office.
Hope this helps

i just want to try and work out if it is "other" things that are causing me to be down again rather than consign myself to being ill like i was before as things are really starting to get to me again and i dont understand as i am quite happy and i am the happiest i have been in a long time with the way my life is going.
if that makes some sort of sense. probably not, it doesnt even make sense to me.
Makes sense to me. Maybe because you have been on several it mucks your hormones up a bit?
maybe. i just wanted to know other peoples experiences as it is a possibility.
