Has anyone else had low mood after being prescribed the pill?

Since last Tuesday I've been prescribed the pill. I am due to be scanned again on 20th of Feb. The pill, in theory, reduce the chances of me having cysts on my ovaries. This is directly delaying treatment. Since last Tuesday, when I started the pill, I have had the most negative thoughts I have ever experienced in my life. I have contemplated all kinds of evil things and I have been unable to go even 1 hour without crying. My husband thinks this is down to the pill. Has anyone else experienced this? Maybe it's not the pill and I'm just seriously depressed now? I don't wanna go to work this morning. I'm going to email my clinic To let them know how I feel.

Can certainly be the pill!!! I saw from your posts you have a cyst on your right ovary... me too. I experience what you are doing through when I was younger on the pill so I refused the pill. I read a couple of studies online that a policy of ‘watch and wait’ was as effective as being on the pill. However, our physiology is different and I think you have other things going on so if you feel it is best for you to continue on your doc’s advise then that is what needs to be done but I would for sure discuss your feelings with them. I am so sorry you are going through this right now :(. It must feel really dark. Just wanted you to know that you are not going mad!! Here for chats. Xxxx

Thank you so much. Yes, this does feel like I'm going mad! I violently threw up on the pill after my first day and told my clinic. They said it could be something I ate? Well I knew it wasn't that. I have emailed them now so I'll wait for a response. I'm depressed anyway but I can't afford to take anything which will make me feel worse. I'm glad I'm not the only one.
