 Posted: 08/04/05 - 02:00 Post subject: Birth Control And Depression |
  |
|
Hey there,
I need to post a question. I am using this birth control pills, which cost me $ 40 monthly 9for my opinion they are not cheap), and am using them for 2 months now. I think they have really strange impact on my body. I feel tired all the time, I gained some weight (5 pounds…this doesn’t concern me, because I am underweight anyway), most of all I feel depressed. So, my question is, is depression a common consequence when women are using birth control pills? Thanks for reply!!!

Hey,
It is known that birth control pills effect mood swings (PMS syndrome) and might even cause depression and some other symptoms (like weight gain, some even additional hair on boobs, face?! …) your period is quite short, so my suggestion is that you give it a try for a few months. Also, if your pills are switched, give pills 2 or 3 month trial. It often takes few months before body adjusts to pills and the estrogen and progestin that they contain. In every case, every woman responds differently to pills, so for example, your friends might have a different respond to the pills you are taking and wouldn’t feel depressed… This things are very variable and it is hard to talk about common consequences… In every case, it would be smart to talk to your gyn.
