"i am 36 years old. i have previously been on loestrin 24 fe then generess fe.  my physician switched me to minastrin and i have gained weight, i am so lathargic and tired all of the time.  i am moody and overall unhappy which i have never had in my life.  i get cramps periodically and i get spotting at random times although very very light.  this is the most horrible pill i have ever been on. i will be getting off of it immediately."
