"i am 22 years old and recently got married.  i am so glad that i waited until after the wedding to start loestrin.  the side effects have been horrible.  i knew there were some possible negative effects, but i seem to be experiencing them all!  i have gained weight, am extremely tired all the time and cannot ever seem to get enough rest.  also, i have absolutely no motivation.  i have lost interest in everything, including my husband!  i have zero sex drive.  i am constantly depressed and have severe and uncontrollable mood swings.
