Yeah, I'm not sure because I've also battled with depressionsince I was eleven and ran the gauntlet with counselors, psychologists, etc. I've also heard depression can cause amenorreah, and cysts are just another symptom of menstrual irregularities and/or IR. It seems to me like BCPs is another one of those things that work wonders for some and are like rat poison for others, kind of like metformin or any other med. I have a follow up appt. with my gyno in a couple days. God, I've been there almost four times in the last couple months. I have a feeling she'll put me on Yasmin. What I might do is take Yasmin and if it works well I'll continue that and then go off of it for a month or two then continue it. It seems to me like people who stay on BCPs for extended periods of time, even years are the ones who really seem to experience long-term problems with them. One girl told me she was on them for 10 years!!
Well I don't know; Trial and error my friend, trial and error...
