I'm 24 and was switched from Yaz to Loestrin. My doctor indicated that this medication was around for awhile and would be similar enough to Yaz while being different enough to stop my spotting. Within the first few weeks, I noticed myself becoming dazzed and disoriented - like in the middle of the mall, I would forget where I was or what I was doing there, though only for a split second, and I forgot to take basic turns while driving to a familiar place and this NEVER happens. I also noticed immediate 5-10 lb weight gain, though I was eating healthier and exercising the same. And somehow I just did not want to be social at all (which is not like me). All of this freaked me out so I quickly got off.

I totally agree. i have been on the pill for almost two months and have gained almost fifteen pounds and I am always hungry. I have noticed a change in my personality as well, in addition to not getting my period. I want to quit taking it.
