Has the morning after pill caused me to become depressed?

Sorry thought I'd get more traffic here with ladies who have had experience with this. I had to take the morning after pill last week on Wednesday. I've taken it a couple of times before (many years ago) and just got on with my life and thankfully never got pregnant! but I never felt like this. I feel extremely low and very, very down. I have no energy to do anything, the housework hasn't even been done for a long time, my poor ds tries to play with me and get my attention but I'm just sitting there, gazing like a zombie. I find that I just stay still and I am gazing/daydreaming until I am distracted.
I have already been feeling a bit crap mental health wise anyway but this has just made it all 10x worse. I feel as if I want to run away from everything and I am even looking up clinics in case the pill doesn't work and even doing that is depressing me. Did anyone else find it has disturbed them mentally after taking this pill? It was called levonelle.

I have never had it myself but any hormone drug has the potential to effect mood and answering will give you a bump up the list :)

Don't know about the MAP, but the mini-pill made me miserable, and same with a few of my friends. Progesterone and I don't seem to get on. If you don't feel any better in a day or two, though, I would see your GP.
