I was put on Loestrin24 Fe to control bleeding until such a time as I could have surgery. I took the first pill and started experiencing a sever mood swing right away. I became angry and depressed. My breast were tender. after a month the Anger and Depression were out of control. I was as hateful as I have ever been. My relationships were effected by my extremely negative attitude (which is completely out of character for me) and my sex drive well there was none. I suppose that is one method for birth control.... I started to notice fatigue, couldn't get out of bed had no energy, tightness in the chest and shortness of breath. Blood Clots...NOT FUN... NOT SAFE...
I noticed my old self returning almost immediately after stopping the pill. I don't think I cracked one smile the whole time I was on them. I am glad to be off and I will never take birth control again.
Please please if you are having sever symptoms. Shortness of breath and chest pains. DON'T WAIT to be TOLD to get off of them.... GET OFF OF THEM and GO to the ER immediately. YOU are talking about your LIFE...

I've tried several bc pill methods over the last three years. Last summer I started the nuvaring. The first 3 months I thought that I was going to crawl out of my skin. I was extremly angry all the time and very fearful. I decided to wait out the symptoms. They did subside, however, I rarely had a regular period. I would experience cramping between periods and occational shooting pains in my uterus. Last month, I started experiancing uncontrollable anxiety. My thoughts were so out of my own charater that they scared me. Along with the aniexty I would wake up in the middle of the night with panic. 9 days ago, after reading a blogg of other women suffering from the same symptoms I decided to stop the nuvaring. The aniexty has subsided and I now feel more myself, although not 100%. Unfortunately after reading some of these bloggs I notice that healthcare professionals claim that there is a very unlikely chance that nuvaring can cause this type of side effect. This is due to the low hormone doses in this BC. I'm here to say that I have NEVER in my experiance had this type of aniexty even during the most stress and low times of my life. I have read consistantly that woman on this BC have the same symptoms....so what? we're all crazy??? Just remember everyone has different bodies and any kind of hormone that is not your own WILL effect you low dose or not. It's just a matter of how it will effect you, positive or negative.

Also, my son, almost 4 yrs old, was prescribed Singulair for cronic inflammatory issues with his lungs. He became aggressive, out of charater. He started hitting people, just for fun, and also having coughing fits when taking his nebulized medication. He was on it for 3 days and I immediately took him off. I recognized the signs since I had been reading these posts for my own problems with this medication. Makes me think there is a genetic factor involved here as well.
