I had my yearly OB appt. earlier this month. I had been on the pill before. She gave me free samples of Loestrin24. HORRIBLE! I never had any negative side effects with bc pill. With this one my sex drive is GONE. My mood swings are terrible. My appetite is gone because of my nausea and intestinal woes. Not only that I am having acne on my face, chest and back. I am 25 years old and I haven't gotten this type of acne in years. Ridiculous. I DO NOT recommend this pill to ANYONE!

I agree; see my post as well and that was the short version. I have spoken with so many women who have experienced the same side effects you described. I believe there may be a handful of women who found this pill to be great for them. I was on this pill for close to a year and stopped almost a week ago. IMMEDIATELY, I've been sleeping better and feeling like myself again-this Loestrin pill had my normal character out of control. I wish you the best!

I have also currently given up on the Loestrin, due to acne on my face. How long did it take your body to adjust and get rid of the acne?

Hi
I am on Loestrin24 and have been since april and I have had the worst acne break out on my face neck, chest and back. Its a strange breakout though, there are tons of bumps but not all of them are red. Its like an acneic rash. I'm 33 and look 13. My skin has always had some hormonal breakouts but nothing like this. Was yours like that? After reading all the reviews, I'm throwing the pills away. I'm not even going to finish this pack. How long did it take for your skin to clear and what birth control did you switch to? Please let me know hollyd76@gmail.com
Thank you
Holly
