I went on Loestrin 24 about 3 weeks ago and have kept telling mys...

OMG! Now I have an answer to my problem. I have been taking this drug now for a month and I have been feeling terrible. Everything you mentioned is how I feel. I have terrible mood swings from minute to minute, being happy then depressed. I also feel hungry more frequently than normal and I feel like I am gaining weight. My sex drive is totally shot! I took another pill called LoOvral (spelling?) for 8 yrs. and never felt like this, I think I will go back.

Stop taking it immediately! Use back up methods until you takl to your doctor on what to do next... no one should let a bc pill ruin their lives like this. I am suffering rfom the *same* exact side effects and only after one week. I stopped taking it last nigth and hope that everything will go back to normal. I will let you know how things go in a week or so. I had awful problems from YAZ as well a month ago, i just dont think my body can handle added horomones =/

I have been on Loestrin for almost 3 years now. My contacts are almost no longer compatible with my eyes, I am depressed, moody, bitchy, and I have gained weight. My husband and I are starting to talk about having kids very soon, I want to stop the pill because I don't know what all it could be doing to my body. Birth Control is a population control thing, I know this. So why are we all obsessed with talking this crap>?
