"i was on generess fe for about 2 years (loved it) and then could no longer afford it because it no longer had a activis card to use when paying for it. so, the doctor put me on minastrin 24 fe. i believe this pill has made me gain a little bit of weight in a very short amount of time and my biggest concern is how it has effected me emotionally. i feel very moody and so unhappy, almost depressed. i also have no sex drive which i am not sure if that is from the pill or the slight depression from the pill. either way it is just not working well with my body. i can&#039;t wait to switch off of this pill."
