Sarah, I have experienced both depression (and mania) as well as loss of sexual desire while on birth control pills (a couple of decades ago). This made me use other forms of birth control. If you go off the pills, the symptoms will probably go away quite quickly. Today's pills are lower dose than when I took them, but your particular pill may simply not be a good match for your personal biochemistry.
