A member asked:

Does plan b cause long term depression?(i'm still depressed and anxious after 2 and a half months)

No: This is not an expected effect of Plan B. If you are having these feelings, seek counseling. If you have suicidal thoughts at any time, call your doctor or a suicide hotline, or go to the ER. Hope this helps!

DEPRESSION: Get an evaluation from a psychiatrist to help identify what depression means to you and whatever else may be bothering you. Consider recommendations for medication if any are given. Get a referral for a reputable psychotherapist to speak with. Meds and therapy combined are most optimal; no just one or the other.

Not typically: Plan B is not typically associated with depression, however, what led to using plan B often is. It may be worthwhile to understand the grief or possible remorse process involved in such actions.
