Hi everyone, in about two years, I've tried 4 different BCPs. I started with Mircette (stopped it b/c I had no appetite on it and I became very depressed), Tri-Sprintec (stopped it b/c it made me psycho and depressed), Kariva and then Alesse (and I stopped both of those because of the depression, and Alesse made me break out). I've been off BC for almost a year and I'm thinking of maybe going back on again- I suffer from painful cysts and extremely painful periods. When I was in college, sometimes I'd have to skip class b/c I couldn't get out of bed b/c of the pain.

However, I am nervous about the depression factor, even though I have always been on a vitamin B complex. (I never experienced depression except when I started the BCPs). Also, some of the pills I tried got rid of my appetite completely, and I'm 23, 5'2" and just under 100lbs, so I really don't want to be losing weight. I was prescribed Yaz last year but I never filled the prescription b/c I was sick of trying different pills.

Anyone have any suggestions? I've tried talking to my doctor about it but honestly I don't think she's really listening to all of my concerns, I think she only cares about the kick back she's getting from writing me a new prescription.

Thanks for any help ladies! :)
