"i took lo loestrin for 3mo, with horrible side effects the entire time! my dr. wanted me to stick it out for 3 months before switching to give my body time to get used to it. it was the worst 3mo of my life. i was nauseous constantly especially with physical exercise. i would have to sit down from walking because i would get to dizzy/ nauseous from it. i started the pills on day 1 of my period and then bled the entire 3mo! not just spotting either. the only time it was spotting was for the 7 days when i was supposed to get my period each month, the rest of the time was horrible heavy bleeding. the worst part though was the anxiety and depression. i cried every every single day. couldn&#039;t get out of bed, and had anxiety attacks. ended up switching pills."
