"if you&#039;re currently taking loestrin and experiencing mood swings/depression, etc., don&#039;t think your moodiness will eventually dissipate over time.  i&#039;ve always been a fairly upbeat, positive, rational person. since taking loestrin (i&#039;m into my fourth pack = four months), my mood swings have continued to get worse. i cry or tear up at the most random things, for no reason at all. i am anxious and my moods are unpredictable. on a positive note, loestrin has reduced my period to 1-2 days a month with very light bleeding."
