Loestrin 24 Fe and definitly

I JUST started Loestrin 24 Fe (day one) and have been reading many articles and websites (anything from the literature in the research journals to the Mayo Clinic posts). I have just read through this entire site and took in all the feedback from the women who have shared the side effects. I have NEVER taken BC until now. I am trying it to keep monthly bleeding and mood swings to a minimum. BUT, I see some serious side effects (depression, acne, weight gain) - these seem worse than just dealing with the monthly symptoms and taking some pain relievers.

Should I STOP? Any advice from veteran birth control users?

The first b.c pill my doctor put me on was Yaz and that was a complete nightmare for three months. I felt nautious everyday and my mood went psycho. I cant tell you how many times I flipped out on my family and boyfriend. I also was beginning to feel symptoms of anxiety attacks and it was then that I asked my doctor to switch me to another pill. Well, she switched me to Loestrin 24 and I've been on it for a week. I know that it is too early to tell how it will work out for me but after reading all of the responses I'm beginning to freak out. Yaz was horrible for me and I am hoping that Loestrin 24 will be better, especially since I told my doctor the anxiety and moodiness I had with Yaz. So far I have only experienced a bit more acne than usual and my stomach is upset sometimes. I also have been spotting a bit and had cramps which felt like menstraul cramps to me...which is weird considering I definitly won't be getting my period for another few weeks. My boobs are sore, but not too bad- i wish i had the growth side effects others are getting haha! Well, hope everything works out well and I'll keep updating.
