In reply to Anyone taking Ortho Tri-Cyclen?, posted by anita on December 1, 2000, at 22:47:39
> My dermatologist suggested I take birth control pills (Ortho Tri-Cyclen) for my adult acne. Nothing else has worked, so I'm considering it. I have depression, and would like to know if anyone experienced a worsening of their depression on this particular pill.
Hi, Anita! Haven't talked to you in a while.
Yes, I took Ortho-Tricyclen briefly (for less than a month) and noticed a definite relapse into depression (I was taking Parnate at the time). I can't be positive that the OT was the cause of the relapse, but it seems very likely. I stopped taking the Pill and things seemed to improve.
I hope your holidays have been going okay.
