I am 24 years old and I was prescribed MICROGESTIN FE which is the generic of Loestrin. It was AWFUL! I took Yaz for about 2 months but it gave me such bad headaches I stopped. Other than that I've never been on birth control. That was about 6 months ago. So I started Microgestin and was fine for the first few days. On my eighth night I woke up feeling really nauseated. I went back to sleep but ended up waking up multiple times afterward to throw up. I threw up 4 times that day and had the worst headache ever. The whole day I just layed in bed sleeping or watching movies. It was awful. I was so weak I didn't even go get the mail. The whole week after I was slightly nauseated a lot of the time and really nauseated about once a day. I didn't have much of an appetite and I had crazy mood swings. I would be happy one moment and on the verge of tears the next. I broke out on my chin and cheek, which is really unusual for me. I stopped taking the pills on about day 14 and am so glad I did. I have had a slight period / discharge after that but am feeling a lot better. ~ S. from TX
