Well you may have 'recovered' but depression is never cured. You could have something like bipolar disorder if you say you have extreme feelings of highs and lows.

When I went on Dianette I found myself feeling really depressed a lot. I found that when I came off the pill I felt much better, so I guess Id recommend not taking it altogether.

i'm kind of in the same boat. i was diagnosed with depression a few years back and was put onto meds, was 'cured' and weaned off. early last year the symptoms returned, however they sorted themselves out. i was put onto the pill middle of last year and found that i was experiencing the same feelings of hopelessness and the non-stop crying. it really affected me starting uni and i ended up dropping out. last month i decided to come off the pill, can't say i feel all that better, but i find it easier to keep my head up, and the tears dry up after a bit. the 'down' days aren't as bad now.
