Has anyone ever experienced depression while being on the pill? I have been taking the pill for approx 10 years now (used to treat painful periods due to endometriosis and for contraception). I would say I am quite an introvert anyway, prefer to listen rather than be the centre of conversation etc.
But in the last year or so I just feel so bloody miserable all the time, like I am constantly fighting back tears for no real reason, I'm snappy and then feel like I have to force myself to speak, even just responding to a simple question.
Has anyone ever experienced anything similar? I don't know whether I am genuinely depressed or whether the pill could be causing this, seeing as I have been on it for so long.
