Depression on BC
2

This board has been very helpful to me since I started on BC back in March and now I have a question that actually pertains to my twin sister. She is on her third pack of OTC-Lo (second week of active pill) and she is extremely depressed and nervous. She also suffers from OCD and is on meds for that, however it's gotten a lot worse in the last couple of weeks. I don't know what to do to help her. I was wondering if it could be the BC causing the depression and anxiety. Has anybody ever heard of that?

Thanks for any information!

I agree with Jill, it might be a good idea for your twink to check with her doctor and see what s/he says.
