SORRY TO BUTT IN but, which pill were you taking? One of the ones I had actually screwed me up mentally too, and I was really depressed all the while I was taking that particular brand, and the moment I was put on something else my hormones got better and I wasn't depressed anymore. A lot of them are well known for causing mood swings and depression, and my doctor said that we had to try a couple before settling on something that's right for you, because everyone reacts differently to the cocktail of hormones.
