i had a similar experience, though i didn't take alesse for as long as you have. i was on a generic version of alesse for about nine months, and about six months into it i noticed that i was a lot more moody/depressed than i used to be. to be honest, i'm a pretty irritable person under normal circumstances, so i had trouble deciding if i had the pill to blame. however, my boyfriend agreed that i wasn't acting like myself. i got to a point where i felt SO depressed/overwhelmed/constantly upset that i decided i couldn't take even one more pill of alesse, just in case that was the cause of the problem.
i ended up switching over to yaz, and i have felt so much better since then. i definitely feel more like myself, and my boyfriend agrees that there is a huge different in my mood.
