I am 20 years old, and have never taken birth control before. My doctor just prescribed me to Loestrin 24 Fe. I have already taken my first week of pills. So far I've had extreme headaches almost everyday, I find it very hard to sleep due to restless leg syndrome(which I've never experienced before taking this pill), on the fourth day I felt sick to my stomach and actually threw up once, and worst of all(in my opinion), my already existing acne has now become uncontrollable. I haven't experienced any emotional changes or had any breakthrough bleeding yet, but i have experienced cramps, like I would if I were about to start my period. I am also eating more than usual...a lot more! I'm not sure if this is just my body getting used to the pill, or what. After reading all of these reviews, I am very scared(blood clots, mood swings, depression), and I'm not sure if I want to continue taking Loestrin any longer! Any advice or comments?!?!
