I had taken Loestrin for almost a year until about two months ago when I decided to quit. I suspected that this birth control had something to do with my intense headaches, weight gain (I was a size 4 now I wear a 10), and a non-existent period. I also have eczema now and I think it might be related as well. Let me know if anyone else has encountered this problem. Since I have quit, I have noticed my eczema has improved and my face is not as puffy. I hope it will improve even more with time off from this drug.

I have eczema too!!!! You are right about headaches. No period is not a relieve! It's a hassle! I run to buy tests which all come negative but it's a stress! And I'm also very-very tired and sleepy! And dryness is a problem too.
