Don't Know If This Has Been Answered Already.... Posted: 02-19-04 21:47pm
I've been on the patch for about 7 months
now....And for a while I was experiencing
depression and it was just brought to my
attention that this could be the brith
control....
I would love to know if this is true and
any other information anyone has about
birth control and depression cause I hate
feeling like this and if its the hormones
with the birth control I know what to do
thanks

Hiya,
sorry to hear you are feeling depressed
meg. I know how hard it can be. I dont
know much about the patch myself but I do
know that after I was on the pill for a
few months I got really depressed. After
a few more months of depression that
nearly cost me my relationship, I got
switched to a lower doseage of the pill as
my doctor said it the level of hormones
musnt have been right for me. It did make
alot of difference.
I guess if you think it is the patch, it
might be too strong for you and you should
see your gp.
Hope everything works out for you
steph

Yeah, you may need a different hormonal
level than what the patch is giving you.
Maybe look into a pill or depo or
something. But if you think it is from
the patch talk to your doctor before you
get worse!
