I started taking them because my doctor said it would help alleviate some the nausea I was having prior to my period, but I would rather have it for a couple of days than all month long. | F | 27 | 2 weeks | 12/31/2006 | 2 | birth control | way more acne than before taking the pill. had diarrea right away for a week. started spotting the 2nd day taking the pill and still spotting. breaking out in rashes all over my body legs and face. im constantly itchy! | i don't like it, im done with loestrin and maybe trying something else. | F | 21 | 2 weeks | 2/6/2007 | 2 | birth control (not sexually active) | depression, uncontrollable crying, acne | IM ONLY 14 AND I HATE THIS. the sad thing is, i need to take this so i can take accutane, because they can't trust that im not sexually active, and if i get pregnant on accutane i will have a deformed child. but this made me break out... bad. i have 3 or 4 bright red zits on my face that are not white heads, but are sore, a zit on my chest, a couple zits on my back, EAR ZITS. seriously?! i've had my acne under control for so long, and this just made it come back terribly. i've also been majorly depressed, convinced my life is worthless and i'll never be happy, etc. which led to uncontrollable crying for the past few days. i mean, i got all the worst side effects possible. i'm underweight and a 32A, so i would've appreciated weight gain or breast size increase! i shouldn't even need to take this! so frustrated! | F | 14 | 2 weeks 10 MG 1X day | 6/29/2011 | 1 | Real bad acne, mood swings | I was on yaz before I had my son then I had my son June 13th then I started taking loestrin24 I wasn't even on it 2 weeks I broke out real bad acne on my forehead I am getting off this pill as soon as possible I'm twitching back to yaz, yaz is amazing no acne or side affects | F | 19 | 2 weeks 1X day | 9/7/2010 | 1 | heavy painful periods | wow, where do I begin?!! i have read many of the postings and just like many of you i thought i was going out of my mind. i get weepy a lot lately over stupid stuff like when people win on game shows, okay what is going on ?!!! not to mention all the other crap i have been going thru with this pill. I feel crappy all the time, in a fog, nervous, fever and chills, MAJOR mood swings, headache and have no energy. I missed work for the first time this year! I HATE THIS PILL AND WHAT IT IS DOING TO ME!!! i have only been on this for 2 weeks but i'm stopping today, i just hope that it doesn't really screw up my period for this month now DO NOT TAKE THIS PILL, i am not normally a person who is prone to all these things i have been experiencing. | F | 42 | 2 weeks 1X day | 8/17/2010 | 1 | Birth control, period regulation | chronic severe anxiety, mild depression, severe migraines/headaches, numbness, chest tightness/pain,the list goes on... | I have been on BC pills for 9 years. I was put on microgestin at age 13, because my periods were very bad. I was on it for 6 years. Then I switched to Seasonale. During my first run on Microgestin I seemed to have no bad side effects. Seasonale didn't work so I switched back. I did 2 weeks on Microgestin, and it was hell. I had severe headaches,numbness in my left arm, my face, and even my throat! I was told I had migraines, but they didn't act like typical migraines.I have numbness when I don't have a headache. I was so anxious, I couldn't sleep. I've had panic attacks. I've never been nervous before this. I've been sad and irritable lately. I've even had suicidal thoughts. Not in the sense that I want to commit suicide, but suicide crosses my mind. I have no reason to be nervous or sad! I'm graduating from college soon, I've got a great boyfriend and everything is going so well! They've done a ton of tests, but nothing is wrong w/ me! I keep thinking the doctors missed something. The best diagnosis they could give is chronic severe anxiety! I quit taking Microgestin about a month ago, and I'm on Xanax, but I still don't feel like myself. One thought that occurred to me now is back when I was 13, I contemplated suicide. I got over it and attributed it to teen angst. But now I realize it happened soon after being put on this pill, so now I wonder if it's related. If anyone out there is going through similar stuff and could give some feedback or just wants to talk email me. | F | 22 | 2 weeks 1X day | 4/19/2010 | 1 | birth control | Significant weight gain!!! I never gained weight like this before. I exercise regularly and eat very healthy. I can't even fit into my clothes now! | F | 24 | 2 weeks | 4/18/2007 | 1 | Acne / prevent pregnancy | First few days I was sick to my stomach. By the second week my emotions were all over the place. Crying constantly. Husband avoids me. I've always had acne but it has NEVER been this bad. All over my chin, mouth and face. My doctor insists that these are not side effects however there have been no other changes in my life and I am not on any other medications. I am trying to decide if I should quit or stick it out. I've gained 4pounds which is adding to my depression since i just worked very hard to loose 10. | F | 32 | 2 weeks 1X day | 5/29/2012 | 1 | birth control | Very bad migraines, uti, anxiety, Moody, always tired | F | 21 | 2 weeks | 3/19/2012 | 1 | to shorten periods | Migraines, dizziness, heavy spotting, nauseous | I hadnt been on the pill for over 5 years. I started Loestrin 24 about 2 weeks ago to shorten my period and had to stop already. Had horrible spotting after 8 days of the pill (took the pill at the same time,etc). Cramps and nausea the first week, end of second week dizziness, and awful migraines. I have stopped already. | F | 27 | 2 weeks | 2/5/2007 | 1 | spottin on regular Ortho | WORST. PILL. EVER. | horrible mood swings (making my boyfriend hate being around me), significant lowered sex drive, feel like crying out of nowhere, skin worsened, unbelievable bloating and immediate weight gain! feel like i have PMS when i am in first 2 weeks of pill pack. noticeable depression, total lack of energy and zest for life. total nightmare. i would rather be on no pill asap than take any more of this. dr's say may take 3 months to get used to new pill? i think i would kill myself by then. | F | 25 | 2 weeks | 3/29/2008 | 1 | heavy periods | I have been so sick, bad stomach aches, diarreha, breast tenderness, depressed, very moody. I just feel horrible. | My doctor has now prescribed Yaz. Does anyone have any comments about the side effects of Yaz? | F | 41 | 2 weeks | 11/5/2007 | 1 | ovarian cyst that ruptured | I have never been sexually active and therefore never had to experience the unpleasent side effects of birth control until I discovered that I had a ruptured cyst that is causing fluids to leak...anyhow doctor recommended that I go on Loesterin, let's just say people around me are starting to think I've become posessed by the devil....TERRIBLE TERRIBLE side effects...no joke its been two weeks that Ive been on it (on and off)...I HAVENT SLEPT, im sooo tired and dizzy I cant even get out of bed, my boobs are coming out of my bra i feel gross, bloated and have a decrease in appetite. I was also struggling with constipation due to Irritable bowel syndrom and this pill has made my constipation even worse...I wanna get off it but Im too scared now caus they say its bad to start a horomonal therapy and randomly quit caus it messes up the horomonal balance??? is that true??? IM DYING I really wanna quit, Id rather take my painful cyst pains than go thru this | F | 21 | 2 weeks | 7/3/2009 | 1 | Contraception | crying all the time, headaches, irritability, loss of sex drive | F | 18 | 2 weeks | 7/24/2014 | 1 | dr. recommended switching pills | 9th day into switching to this pill, bleeding heavy enough to require a tampon, when I just finished a regular period 9 days prior and have been bleeding like a light period (not spotting!) for 5 days. Horrible anxiety, bloating, panic attacks which I have never experienced in my life. Going off it as soon as pack is done and going back to tri-levlen | horrible! | F | 35 | 2 weeks | 6/4/2009 | 1 | premen (bleeding irregular) | extreme lower back pain | F | 48 | 2 weeks | 9/8/2008 | 5 | to skip periods, as birth control | slight nausea. | This is great so far because I really can't tell that I'm even taking anything. This type of progestin seems so much better than the Levogestrin I was on earlier, which plunged me into depression for 3 months. Remember you can't use these reviews to decide if you should use this pill. Everyone will react differently. | F | 19 | 1 weeks 1 pill 1X day | 5/19/2011 |
