i have been on Loette for almost a year now. I have not felt 'right' the whole time. I've been excessively emotional, had a lot more headaches, night sweats, swollen and/or tender breasts, decreased sex drive and difficulty having an orgasm, to the point where i was wondering what the hell was wrong with me. Also had moments of insane anger followed by depression. I had been off the pill for about 3 years, having previously been on Diane since I was a teenager for acne. I didn't realize how much I liked being off the pill until I went back on it! Now looking into alternative birth control options.

oh my gosh, i hear you. I have been on loette for the past 5 months and its made me so overly emotion and depressed. Its usually around my period that i start to get down and if something is upsetting (like not seeing my boyfriend for a while bc he lives 3 hours away) i get SO SO upset. Even though we have our issues, i find i cant talk them through and move forward as fast because my mind is so negative. i know understand how it feels to have depression...i cry intensely at nothing that warrents such tears. i hate feeling this way!!! it would be good to know i am not alone. i wish i was in contact with women who have been through it too.

Wow thankyou for reassuring me that I wasnt just going through a sudden mental breakdown..I've only been on Loette for 3 weeks and I feel like a depressed old cow.. I can;t get motivated to do anything and all the things taht excite me so much in life haven't made a difference, I can;t stop thinking negatively and I've just screwed up a new realtionship that i was so excited about before i went on this damn pill! I can't speak positively at all and I'm usually known for being the most assertive happy girl around..finding out that the pill could be the reason for my insane emotional breakdowns has been the first thing to excite me in ages...If i go straight off it again will I get back to my normal self? or does it take a few weeks to get out of my system? Damn being a girl hey..why cant boys make all the babies so we don;t have to take these stupid drugs! thankyou!
