I have been on Loestrin 24 for 2 years!! And I am finally gettin...

I have been on Loestrin for less than six months and out of nowhere I have been having the most horrible migraines ! Called the doctor and they are taking me off the medication. I am in the early stages of menopause and if the side effects from the medicine that I am given is this bad, I fear I may just have to suffer through.

Sorry to hear about all your side effects but YES, THE HAIR LOSS IS TERRIBLE. My daughter took this bc for abour 4 months and probably lost half a head of hair, Besides the depression and headaches. Her once beautfiul thick hair is not fine and thin. When she asked her doctor he told her this wasn't a side effect, but then we called the pharmacy and they told us that lots of people call and ask about exactly that. Its been a year since she is off it and her hair has never been the same. I would like to know if anyone else had this problem and if thier hair came back

Interesting, I have been on this pill for about a year and am now on topamax. I have mild to severe headaches everyday. I have been trying to figure out which of my meds have been causing this, and now am curious about the loestrin 24. I thought it was my klonopin or something. Anyways, as well as the headaches I have been trying to figure out the new cellulite that has accumulated on my person. I feel like I might need to weed this pill out of my regimen. Thanks
