Lo Loestrin Fe - Anxiety/Depression on Lo Loestrin Fe?

Hi everyone, I am wondering if anyone else is experiencing extreme anxiety/depression from this birth control pill. I have been on it now since last fall, so I would say 8-9 months now. Beginning the poll I emotionally felt great because I switched from Sprintec which literally made me an emotional wreck. But with this pill, my anxiety and depression has increased slowly overtime. I didn't even notice how depressed I am after 8 months - it's a slow creeper. Does anyone else feel like this?

You must stop this BC and contact your Dr. asap.
A serious side effect of this BC is symptoms of depression (sleep problems, weakness, tired feeling, mood changes).
Thank you for your quick answer and the link!! Much appreciated.

My name is Liz, I finally got to the point that I couldn't take BC pills at all. Just stopped all together. Both of my daughter's the same. They finally went on Nuva-Ring. Don't seem to have all the side effects as the oral contraceptives do. It's an option?? Hope you feel better soon. L
