Wow, I don't feel so crazy after reading everyone's comments. I was on BC for 6 years, and stopped for a year and a half. I myself started this pill 4 days ago, and already I have noticed increase anxiety, paranoia, headaches, and irritability. I called my doctor and told them to write me a prescript for what I used to take -- Ortho Tri Cyclen. For some reason I allowed my doctor to talk me into taking this crap. Yeah.. the 'lo' dose stuff isn't always the best stuff.

I am so relieved I found this site. I have been taking Loestrin 24fe for 3 weeks. I have been bleeding off and on up until last week which may be normal since I have not been on bc pills in 2years, but the anxiety, paranoia, moodiness, severe headaches, and weight gain is not normal for me. I have gained 5lbs in 3 weeks and haven't changed my diet at all. I have to take tylenol everyday just about for the headaches. I start my sugar pills this week and I Will be at my doctor's office Monday morning to change my bc pills for next month. I always have taken ortho tricylen and can't wait to return to them. This pill is a nightmare. Readers beware!
