"i went on this after loestrin 24 gave me insomnia.  i&#039;ve been on it for 2 months and it&#039;s not bad.  it works for birth control.  the only side effects i have had are hair loss. i get mood swings when i&quot;m on the 2nd week of the pack.  i&#039;m ok with it for now, but i&#039;m thinking about switching to one that doesn&#039;t make me so irritable."
