"i&#039;ve been on loestrin 24 fe for 5 months. i had a few bothersome side effects and a few side effects that weren&#039;t so bothersome. in the second month i developed this weird anxiety and had this constant sense of nervousness. i would also have very brief moments of dizziness. for example, if i turned my head too fast i&#039;d feel a flash of dizziness. for nearly 4 months my breasts were sore, but i could deal with that. i spotted for the first month, but i could deal with that, too. i never had any nausea, weight gain, acne, hair loss, or skin discoloration. now that i&#039;ve gotten over the side effects i&#039;m pretty pleased and wouldn&#039;t want to switch."
