What is the best birth control pill used for women with a history of mild depression?
I haven't actually felt depressed for several years but a few months ago I started using the birth control pill Sprintec and some of my older depressed emotions began to surface. I quickly went off of it. I'm not sexually active at the moment and never have been but in case this is something I plan on doing in the future I'd like to be prepared. I'd appreciate sincere and well thought out answers. Thanks.

- just a little word of advice...you said you are not sexually active...but are wondering which pill should be taken? first ...you should pro bally discuss this with a school health counselor, or if your not in school, maybe at a planned parenthood center...they are extremely helpful, and are not bias to you having sex or not having sex...they are solely interested in you being well informed, in birth-control options, safety...etc.......i too sometimes go through mild depression and have found that "nordette" which i have been off and on for about 25 years (now 43)...all around has caused no side effects or any mental changes...although everyone is made up of different characteristics, it truly is a wonderful option for the birth control pill (i have tried many others, so my opion counts for something? i think)...oh yeah back to my advice...if you are planning to become sexual active...i complement you on thinking ahead about pregnancy...but please remember: the pill does not protect against sexually transmitted diseases... good luck...on collecting information.
- yeah wanttofind is tottaly right!!! i have taken about 5-6 different pills, and the only one that works for me is the ortho tricyclin lo...i have no mood changes, but it's best to talk to your doc..
