On Femodene Contraceptive Pill. Feeling Depressed, Irritated. Alternative Medicine?

Hi, I have been on the femodene contraceptive pill for just short of a year now, recently my moods have been terrible! Me and my boyfriend argue constantly , I am forever getting upset over nothing, I have no motivation to do anything and generally feel depressed, is there another pill you could recommend for me please? And is it more than likely that it is the femodene pill making me feel this way? Thanks Sam
