Laura -
I was on traditional birth control pills up until October. All of the neuros I've seen (including my neuro at Hopkins) are totally fine with BC pills. In fact, I think the hormones help with MS stuff.... there is that study with estriol and copaxone even.
I'd ask around some more about this. I know a lot of people with MS who take regular bc. I used to take Lo-estrin 24. My first exacerbation happened last December when I accidentally went off the pill for a few weeks!
I'm curious to hear what others think. But if you've had a bad reaction with depo, I wouldn't continue to take it unless you find out more concretely if/why bc pills aren't good with MS.
