Estrostep Fe and estrostep

I've been on estrostep for one month and things were going great until my fourth week into the cycle. I had my period about a week ago and I am still bleeding randomly.. did anyone else have this problem or is this normal in your first cycle of the pill?

My side effects have mainly to do with the generic for Estrostep. It is called
Tri Le Gest FE. In one month it raised my blood pressure from 120/80 to 144/99. My doctor put me on Ativan thinking I had anxiety. That reacted badly also.
Ended up in the ER with BP 165/100 heart rate 135. Since stopping generic my bp is now back in the 120'/70 range. I have gained 15 pounds and had my cholesterol go up 20 points in one year. I will blame regular Estrostep for that but the generic form really messes with your heart. Just wanted to let everyone know to keep really close tabs on blood pressure.

Hi I had been on Estrostep for 2 years and I hated it it caused me to have blood clots every time my period would come since I have been of the pill I have not had a period its been a year.

i used to take estrostep a few years ago and i was fine i never even gained weight felt like nothing, here i am taking it again and in my 3rd month, i have never been this depressed in my life, i cry alot i get mad at everything im always fighting with my bf and on top of that ever since i started it for these 3 months i havent gotten my period and no im not pregnant! before i got on it i was perfect and happy with my life and out of no where i am like this

Took this pill for a few months and then stopped. About two months later I noticed an increase in hair loss on my head. It has gotten worse....so, I have been losing tons of strands of hair for more than three months! Do not take Estrostep!

Within days of starting estrostep my face, upper arms and upper part of my back broke out. Thought it would start to clear up, but no sign. It's getting worse and itches/hurts on my face. My ob/gyn prescribed it to HELP my acne, oilyness and large pores. My breasts seem to be getting bigger, but really need more time to tell. Very concerned about my face breaking out...will it clear up?

Does anyone else feel slightly depressed and irritable on estrostep??

I am only in my 3rd week of taking Estrostep and I feel HORRIBLE! I am having some heart fluttering, feeling very anxious, upset stomach, tingling in my left hand, and moodiness. I took Orthocept prior to this for approx. 8 years with no adverse side effects. I am going back to Orthocept next month.

I am using estrostep for my acne but on my 9th day i started spotting. I thought my boobs were growing and now i read other people see the same result and i feel the urge to cry about stupid things. It has caused some anxity but i am just sick of being on my period every other week it's emotionally messing me up!

Since I have been on Estrostep, which I started taking it about 3 months ago, I have been very moody. I get mad and sad for no reason. I cry alot and I stay depressed most of the time. Also my sex drive has increased .. alot. And when I started taking the pill, my period was very irregular. It would stop for a day and then start again the next day .. or stop and 2 days later it would happen again.

I've been taking Estrostep for about 6 months. I'm having horrible mood swings and severe anxiety and panic attacks!!! It helped with my menstral cramps which is why it was prescribed to me, but I feel like I'm losing my mind!

I had very bad hot flashes, terrible insomia and panic attacks while taking Estrostep. I felt like I was waiting to explode!!
