BC pill and depression meds?

I've been depressed for probably 6 or so months now.....my grandfather passed away and I think it triggered it to come to the surface. I am reluctant to go on meds. I do not like the side effects....especially the sexual ones. I already switched BC pills to a lower dose to help with that. I was also wondering how depression meds effect the pill?

I don't know how they would interact. Have you asked your doctor? What about herbal anti-depressants such as SAM-e? It might help you get a handle on things. I know what you mean about the sexual side effects. I am left questioning whether they are worth it!
