I took loestrin for 3 weeks and of all the pills i have ever been on this one is the worst. I have had acne, weight gain, headaches, cramps, no sex drive, anxiety, rapid heart rate, my breast were extremely sore, and depression. I didn't even finish the pack because I was severely paranoid that I was going to have a heart attack. Once I stopped I got my period within 2 days and all of those side effects went away. My only issue now is I haven't had my period since that time. It has only been a month and a pregnancy test came out negative adding to the fact that I don't feel like I did when I was pregnant. It is still frightening though.

Wow, it's good to hear that I am not the only one dealing with the bad acne....
I've been on Loestrin 24 for over a year now, and ever since I started taking it... my face breaks out constantly! I never used to break out, but now it's almost twice a month that I'll get a huge pimple or two. Does anyone know of any good treatments?
