Talk to your doctor : Cerelle is an oral contraceptive commonly known as "the mini pill". One of its side effects can be depressed mood which occurs between 1-10 percent of patients who take this medicine. Consult your doctor before making any changes.

Easy! Consult 1st!: Never stop a prescription w/out advising the doctor who prescribed it. You may need to taper down for some. You may need to complete a full dose for certain types of treatrments (antibiotics). It's just the smart thing to do - always. They may say 'go ahead' and then it's fine. Depressed mood is a known side effect - so you do want to change this - just call to discuss how. Best!
