Reduced Moods on Loestrin 24 Fe

Posted over a year ago

Has anyone else experienced the loss of emotions when taking Loestrin 24 Fe? Took a while to connect the loss of highs and lows to the pill, and one might think that being more even keel is a good thing, but only to a point. My friends accused me of not caring because I never got angry, sad or excited about things. I've read countless blogs and website, but have never found this mentioned by anyone. I've decided to discontinue use for a while just to see if my theory is correct. Already, I cried at a TV show last night. Just wondering if this is all in my head.

Spartanchica90 - Omg, I am so relieved to see this. I have been on Loestrin for 3 and a half months at this point. In the first month I got really depressed and emotionally sensitive. But for the past 2 months since then, I've been pretty apathetic, unexcited and emotionless. My friends have noticed and I am also thinking of ceasing my use of Loestrin. It took me a little while to make the connection but yeah, glad to see I'm not alone in experiencing this strange psychological side effect. PLEASE post again to reveal whether or not it's made a difference since you've stopped using Loestrin. If you feel back to normal and definitely think you were feeling that way because of the Loestrin, then I also want to stop. Thanks for your post!

Melly_va_nelly - I started loestrin just because i was o er the top emotional without borthcontrol pills . My mood swings were completley irrational i would cry o er the littleist things or have a super short temper and loose it very easily .ive been taking loestrin now for 4 months and it has helped me tremendously . Now i cry only for normal things u should cry for and when i get mad my mind allows me to stop and think and be rational rather than scream or completly lose it . I had been perscribed a loww dosage of prosac before loestrin 24 bc of trying so many other types of b/c 's and thwm never working for me. But the prosac made me have insanse panic attacks and made me completly depressed ! Loestrin has turn out to be my miracle ...

Becc - I was the same. Felt so extreme and then I wouldn't feel anything. I have been off them for 4 months now and going off gave me severe anxiety and my moods are terrible. I am desperate to feel better. How long does it take to feel better when going off this pill?
