Anyone else HATE Alesse? - Birth Control Message Board

kellie84 · 07-07-2008, 09:15 PM

I have been on it for about 6 months and have had mood swings and just most recently a bout of depression. Anyone else have bad side effects on Alesse?

I don't have any personal experience with Alesse so I can't comment on it. However, I can tell you that birth control pills deplete many of the B vitamins, so that could be the reason for your mood issues. Try taking a B complex vitamin every day and see if it helps. This should help replenish what's being lost and help to make you feel better.

I was on it for several years and had no problems.

I've been on it for two months and have absolutely no problems with it - no mood swings, no weight gain, nothing. Feel just the same as always.
