Q: Any Suggestions Ladies? Anti Depressants And Bc

I am going to the OBGYN next week and I would really like to start taking birth control. I am sexualy active. Here is this problem. I am on 2 anti depressants. I have heard that a lot of BC and anti depressants dont mix well together. Does anyone take anti depressants and birth control? What do you take, side effects? Of course I am also worried about the typical nausea, weight gain, etc.

I haven't either, actually.

The only thing is that some birth control can cause depression, so you'll want to monitor how you feel and switch pills if you feel that the b/c is contributing to your condition.
