I have been battling painful monthlies as well as depression for some time. It seems that my ob gyn thinks it best to stop the whole process of menstruation for a while, so he started me on a monophasic pill and told me only to take the active pills.
I have been on ortho-cyclen for over 2 months and I am pretty sure that my depression has gotten worse since then. It's always hard to know what makes depression worse - like is it the winter, is it vicodin I have been using for a knee injury or is it indeed the pill.
So I was wondering if there was any info here about what may be a better pill for a depressed person.
My ob-gyn said it is going to be trial and error (terrific - as if I don't hear that enough at the shrink's!!!!!! lol)
But I'd appreciate any help anyone can give.thanks,
Diane
