i am using ortho tricyclne now (have been for a year) and i do seem to be a little more down than before i started taking the pill. however, i've had many stressful things happen in the last year. my best friend used to take ortho tricyclene and she got very depressed. she even went to see a therapist because of it. i'm not saying that this pill does cause depression but that it is correlated to it. you really need to talk to your doctor to find out what is best for you. ��

Has anyone heard of Ortha Tricyclene causing depression? Someone said they had read a study where the majority or at least a lot of teenage girls on this pill suffered from depression. Would St. johns Wort work? I am having problems with a boy. I did something I should not have 5 months ago and the boy has ignored me since the incident. I feel that I did something to cause him not to like me. My mom says boys are like that - they get what they can and then move on. I have talked to my friends about this and they say I will get over it - but I'm not getting over it. I feel hopeless about my future, feel like everyone knows what happened and no boy will ever like me again. I wish I could take it all back. I feel fat (gained 10 lbs on the pill) and ugly though everyone tells me it isn't true. I cry all the time and wake up thinking it is just another poopy day. The things that used to make my happy don't now and I am struggling in school. HELP!!
