How do you know.....

I have been feeling blue for a while now, but i get the feeling that it is getting worse. I recently (about a month and a few days ago) switched bcp, and started taking Yasmin. I have no motivation to do anything, i usually feel on the cusp of anger or about to cry, and i feel so lost and dont know what to do. How can i tell if it is just the bcp or something more, and at what point do i call the dr? I could really use some help and advice to get through this.

If you don't feel well, don't hesitate to call the dr. Kariva/Mircette plunged me into an unhappy emotional state within the first week. The Nuvaring had me sobbing hysterically within 3 days. Finally, I'm having a much better experience with Alesse. If the bcp makes you so unhappy, you need to talk to the dr about how to get through it. Whether it's an anti-depressant to get you through until your body adjusts or completely changing bcps, you can only make it better if you talk to your doctor.

Good luck!
