"i have been on this birth control pill for the last 6 months and i am completely miserable. it was originally prescribed as a generic for loloestrin, but that simply cannot be the case. i have been chronically bloated, emotional, spotting, on top of which i am also experiencing a regular to heavy period. when i was on lolo i had no negative side effects and it effectively minimized my monthly period. ultimately, i feel really misinformed by the pa who prescribed this as a generic."
