 1  PMS, irregular periods Fatigue, loss of interest in much of anything, feeling "foggy," mood swings, continued bleeding, swollen hands and feet, thirsty all the time, unexplained bruising, headaches after taking the pill, upset stomach, worsening of my IBS I was on the generic, Gildess. I was taking mainly in an attempt to even out mood swings from PMS. When I'm not on the pill, I feel relatively normal as soon as my period starts. My period never stopped on Gildess, and I was moody, anxious, and depressed the entire time. I just wanted to sleep and sit on the couch. It also made my IBS flare up with a vengeance! I haven't been in that much GI pain in a long time - horrible gas, bloating, and constipation. F 38 3 weeks

 1  To Prevent Pregnancy Irritability,Anxiety,Depression,Light period, slight Acne, paranoia. As a mother, the last thing I wanted to feel was hopelessness when it came to protecting my child. I became so paranoid that something bad would happen to him that it made me cry every two minutes. I'm depressed and afraid to do anything that has to do with outside. Very unlike me. However, because I know this is whats causing it, I'd finish these pills and probably get my tubes tide. It seems like every birth control pill has side effects. However, these are by far the Worse!!

 1  Prevent pregnancy, endometriosis Mood swings, anger, depression and most disturbing, MIGRANES!!! I had a very difficult birth with my daughter and needed a good birth control that would help me not only with my conditions, but to help me regulate my mood swings while taking a bc pill. I continuously got migranes; very painful to the point of vomiting, loss of sight and a headache that would last for days. I have stopped this pill. Migranes have ceased, but I am experiencing severe cramps, nausea, and thick vaginal discharge. I feel more myself now. This pill made me anxious and very moody...I was snapping at everyone! F 29 8 months

 3  Hormonal imbalance and depression I began this pill Bc I suffer from depression and needed to regulate my period. My PMS would trigger a depressive state and I woul emotionally eat. I've had some side affects like cramping bleeding and nausea but I am giving this pill a chance. Beside the side affect I listed above I do feel more balanced emotionally. And more "in my body". Good luck to all! F 31 1 months

 3  Lighter periods I liked this pill at first because it did help me with my issue of heavy periods and bad cramps. However, about 2 months after I started the pill I had vaginal itching and developed a yeast infection. I had to go to my gyno to get a pill for it and it cleared up but the same symptoms occured a year later and now I'm experiencing irregular discharge. I also have headaches, fatigue, tender breasts, and I get 2 periods a month. I'm coming off of this pill. F 19 1 years

 1  Birth control This pill is absolutely, 100% from satan. I have had the worst mood swings...will cry at anything...anything. Makes me feel depressed, anxious, and energy-less. I can't sleep, and I want to be alone most of the time because I don't even feel like being nice to people. It's awful. I'm getting married next week, but am willing to be on my period on my WEDDING NIGHT (and chance having a baby so soon in my marriage) over taking this pill! F 23 30 days

 2  Prevent pregnancy I stopped taking the pill back in August. I began having a discharge and irritation in my vagina, I had no idea why or what caused it. I went back to my doctor in march 2012 and he gave me the same pills and now after fishing the pack I have a brown discharge and irritation again. I'm definently not taking these pills again. I'm moody most of the time, anybody yelling at me makes me cry, road rage lol, nausea, hungry. You name it. F 22 1 months

 4  Birth-control Nausea, headaches, swollen tender breasts, some mood swings... I've been taking loestrin fe 24 for a week now I actually don't mind it too much and will continue to use it. Im a little emotional but way better than before I started taking it and I actually just wanted to let everyone know that there is a pamplet that comes with the bc and it tells you specifically when to start the first pill it is very important for you to start these and all bc at the right time of the month or you can expirience abnormal moodiness and other side effects I was very cautious when I started these pills so i could be sure to avoid all of these problems...

 1  Regulate periods Lethargic, depressed, weight gain, mood swings Do not take this drug! I have been taking this pill for 2 weeks and finally by today I am feeling soooo lethargic and emotionally down that I decided to try to see if maybe this sudden change in myself could be linked to this pill, since this is the only thing that's new or different in my life. Thank goodness that I found this site! After reading these reviews I realize that I am not crazy, or imagining this...I am absolutely experiencing these symptoms, and I am by far not the only one. I will not be taking another pill...stopping them immediately! F 40 2 weeks

 1  Going on 4 months This pill is a bust. Started taking it to assist cramps and regulate my period, but I'm on month three and had experienced horrible mood swings, extreme anxiety attacks, vomiting and diarrhea, as well as breast tenderness. DEFINITELY not worth it. F 19 4 months

 2  Prevent Pregnancy Have been taking it since January and have found that I am more depressed, ups and downs on my mood. Tired all of the time. While I am still on it; I do plan on changing at the end of this pack (just started a new pack). Hoping to get rid of some of the side effects; as the tiredness and the depression are too unbearable.

 1  Regulate Periods I had so many side effects from this medication that I cannot even fit it in this space, but the headaches were by far the WORST. Please do not take this medication! I didn't have any serious side effects immediately, but after a few months I was not myself. I think the fact that this medicine has 21 pages of reviews speaks for itself! I wish I had the last 5 months of my life back. F 32 7 months

 1  Birth Control Severe anxiety, panic attacks, fatigue, depression, acne, weight gain, moodiness, bleeding between periods. I would not recommend Loestrin to anybody! These past two months have been pure hell for me. I'm experiencing panic attacks and severe anxiety over nothing! My mood is up and down, I snap at everyone. I cant stop eating and my face broke out like a teenager. I think if it wasnt for the panic attacks I would deal with the other side effects but I cannot live my life in fear and continue feeling like I am dying. I am finishing up this pack and I am going back to condoms! It is not worth it ladies, please think twice before taking this pill. Not everybody reacts the same but if you notice anything out of the ordinary stop taking it! I just wish this thing would come with a warning... how can we get it off the market? F 29 2 months
