INTERACTIONS: Coming off BirthControl w/ Antidepressants?

Hi,
I am currently taking Buspar, Topamax and Effexor XR. I have been trying to find the right combination of meds/doses for Major Depression and Anxiety for a VERY long time, and I think that over the last few weeks I finally have gotten there.
My medical doctor is optioning me to go off my Birth Control for other concerns, which is unrelated to my depression/anxiety.  I have also been leaning to going off it too, since I haven't really needed it. Yet, I'm nervous that going off it, might effect my mood and medication "cocktail" entirely; slipping me back into my depression. My BC is Ortho Tri Cyclen.
Has anyone done something similar to this?  What happen to you?
HELP?
