Loestrin pill and depression

[DalbySun]

I'm not the kind of person that cries easily (before I started taking the pill, I'd cried once in 2 years) but my god, since I started taking Loestrin 20 about 2 weeks ago I have felt like utter shit and have beed reduced to tears 3 times in as many days. My hair is falling out, I feel hopelessly tired, hearing and seeing things that don't exist, crying over nothing, eating non stop and as a consequece but on 4lbs in two weeks - I am an emotional wreck.

Has anyone else had such extreme reactions to the contraceptive pill??? I'm going to have to come off it before I kill myself or someone else.

Was hoping to finish the pack but considering just coming off it now.

Hi, having reading your post i think i can relate to this. I was on Loestrin for a few years and maby that contributed to my severe mood swings in my early 20s. I was in tears all the time, sometimes a complete cow for no reason. I came off the pill around 3 years ago and i am a much happier person, even though things in life are more difficult than they were then. It is possible.
