I was wondering, I have been trying to treat my mood swings and depression for a long time, I never thought that NF could have been a part of that but I want to know if taking pills for it could cause any complications with my NF.

" Your doc or pharmacist would be better to answer that. I'm just guessing that if your pills work with hormones that could make your NF worse.

I wish someone would do a study on the effect of NF on depression. I really think there is a connection there. But I think a lot of us, me included, have undiagnosed depression. I mean, of course we are depressed! We have NF! But anyways. Hope things are going well for you. God bless. "
