I;ve been taking Loestrin FE 1.5/30 tabs for about a year now. Love not getting a period at all but still get heavy bloating, slight cramping & break outs. Have been severely depressed though so I went on Wellbutrin. After reading some of the postings here I'm beginning to think the Loestrin is making me depressed! Also have gained about 10 lbs. Not sure if my side affects are from the Loestrin or Wellbutrin (Wellbutrin is supposed to decrease your appetite however mine has increased!) I am tired and feel bloated all the time. Maybe I should try a different pill but i am getting used to not having a period and not sure I want to go back to having one.

I suggest you stop taking them or change to Yaz, these are really good, I have been taking them for 4 years, my only side effects are headaches, which have been in the last 6 months and its due to the fact that I use to take the Mexican version (Yazmin) which are only 21 pills and since the 7 days that are left I do not have any pills to take, my hormone level drops and that makes me feel sick. Other than that I have no problem. I also suggest you stop taking them because it has been proven that with these pills where you do not have a period, you are more likely to get blood clots and get a stroke. Your menstruation is the most natural thing that you rbody has and if you stop that from happening you go against nature. Think about that. Good Luck!

wanted to know if you have stopped taking loestrin. if so, i wanted to know if the depression, weight gain, and all the rest of the side affects have gone away. I have been taking loestrin 24 since aug. 07 and i've never gotten a period yet and i am experiencing all of the same symptoms
