I am on day 5 of Loestrin 24, I do not read the "pamplets" that come with medicine simply because if I read it I will get it, power of suggestion is what my doc calls it. My boyfriend noticed almost immediately my mood swings, I thought I had the flu, I cry all the time and last night, after 4 days of no sleep I planned out my own suicide in my mind, even what I would write in the letter to my parents and my new niece. I layed beside my boyfriend and convinced myself he was cheating on me, he was seeing someone else and I got up, woke him up and started throwing his clothes in the backyard. I have full blown anxiety attacks and cry all the time. I am sick on my stomach but starving at the same time, my head is splitting wide open and I am waiting on a call rom my doctor right now. I called in to work "crazy" today, thank God my boss is very understanding and I will never take this pill again in my life. This is scary and as I sit here now I'm still not sure how long this feeling will last

Being on this pill for five days will not affect your mood as drastic as you claim. It will give you mood swings, but contemplating suicide is a mental thing. You may have a chemical imbalance. I would start seeing a different doctor IMMEDIATELY.

I saw the doctor yesterday and he confirmed that I was allergic to an inactive ingredient in the pills. I was in a mess by the time I got there, I was flushed with IV fluids and my chart has been marked that I cannot take these pills EVER. It was actually not the side effect of the medicine, but a reaction to the medication itself. I didn't know what in the owrld was wrong with me. Thank you for the advice, I am finally starting to feel almost normal again, but I must admit, i did dance when I trashed that pack of pills last night! At least i know I'm not crazy, just extremely sensitive. I also have not been on any type of birth control in almost 15 years, so there was no way to know about this in advance.
