... to think the Pill is making me depressed?

Exactly that, really.

I started taking Marvellon about 9 months ago. All fine to begin with, but the last few months I've been very depressed on average two weeks of the month.

Everything else in life - job, partner etc. - all great. I've had depression before, so I know what it feels like, and when these two weeks strike it's devastating.

It's getting to the point where I'm miserable and tearful 14 days out of 28 for no real reason. I'm trying to keep a handle on my emotions, but it's incredibly hard!

Does anyone out there have a similar story/advice for an alternate Pill?

Cerazette made me depressed. I'd cry myself to sleep because my husband would turn over to go to sleep which obviously meant he didn't love me if he wasn't to cradle me to sleep every night. Weirdly there was a voice in my head that told me it wasn't real and would pass. It used to last about 7-10 days every month.

I switched to gedarel and was an absolute raging psychopath, completely irrationally angry, upset etc, I was an absolute nightmare to be around. Finally switched to cilest and got raging migraines so gave up on the pill altogether after that!

It's really, really common to have mental health issues when you're on hormonal contraception but I've never heard of any woman being warned about that by a health professional

Women are not respected.

A long time since anyone had commented on this post. My daughter had implant, made her off the scale nasty. Angry, awful. Had it removed (privately. Doctors refused to take it out). Then tried 3 various pills. All no good. All made her feel terrible again so we are now considering copper coil for her.

I think it is possible, I felt crap on the Pill.

I'm going to get flamed for this but I'm saying it to illustrate how hormones do affect you, I always felt down and snappy whilst breastfeeding, it was like constant PMT. Happened with both children, as soon as I stopped with I felt like me again. It wasn't because I didn't like breastfeeding either, I wanted to do it. I was much less moody. I'm not sure if it is unusual, I've never heard anyone else say it. Maybe they are scared to.
