I've been on this pill for almost 2 months and I feel really tearful, paranoid and emotionally weak. I'm not sure if it is because of the pill, but this happened before when I was on cilest, my GP prescribed me this pill as she said it was least likely to cause depression....

Yes. I have switched from pill to pill trying to find one that didn't make me depressed. It happened to me every week before my period and every week after. One moment I would be fine and the next I couldn't stop crying over trivial matters. It did not matter what pill I was on and a lot of doctors couldn't help me, they just kept prescribing different methods of contraception.
I tried Spirulina (vitamins made from Seaweed) for stress purposes and that seemed to help a bit.
Eventually I found a very knowledgeable lady. Apparently (and I kbow it sounds far-fetched but its true) during certain times of the month, women retain water and the pill exacerbates this. With the extra water, there is more pressure on the brain which sends mixed messages to it causing the emotional rollercoaster you're on. She prescibed very mild water-tablets for me. It helped a lot. The reason the Spirulina seemed to work was because its also a diuretic to some extent. However, for me it never cleared up completely so I also took Vitamin B6.
Now I'm off the pill and I don't seem to be suffering like I used to.

I'm on Cerrazette,and did go through a phase of being depressed and irritable-though I didn't link it to the pill. If what I went through was linked to Cerrazette,I would have to say it was a short term side effect-just my body getting adjusted to it. You don't mention how long you've been on it,but if you're concerned,please speak to your GP.

I have used Cerazette and suffered from depression but the depression has been just as bad when on it as when not so for me it wasn't linked however if you're worried then see your GP or local FPC

Yes I did and was switched to Noriday which I found to be a lot better for but I don't know if it works for everyone.
