Thanku for ur replies concernin my post, it ment a lot, feelin a lil better today but got to see doc tonight so will see what he suggests.

If I do go on medication though, do any of you know if you can be on the pill, and an anti-depressant at the same time? Or if they just dont go together, because i know the pill contains hormones? Im 17, and my boyfriend an i had just decided that i would go on the pill before the depression got this bad.

Any info would be much appreciated, thanks again

love T xXx

I don't think one thing has anything to do with the other. I've been on both for over a year without a problem. But to be sure, you can always ask your DR. or pharmacist.

Talk with your obgyn first before taking any info to heart as far as I am concerned there is no problems at all, but talk with the doc find out what meds you will be on for depression give the obgyn the name of the meds and he will be able to tell you better than any of us can.

there are so many types of the pill out there I take nor-qd which is like the shot but in pill form and I live it so far it has no side effects like what I thought no weight gain nothing so I am on a binge f recomending it to everyone I meet.

Dont forget to tell your doc that you want to go on the pill then tell your obgyn about the meds you are taking and he will tell you the right pill for you the one I take has no estrogen in it it only has progestin in it which means no female hormones which I already have enough of that is why I dont take the normal pill well anyways good luck gather as much info as you can and be safe.
