"i was on loestrin for around a year, and i needed to get off of it because it made me very depressed.  i was always moody and upset, and two of my friends told me that loestrin made them feel like it too.  i&#039;ve been off of it for about two months now, and i feel so much better.  other than the depression, there weren&#039;t many bad side effects.  i just couldn&#039;t deal with the mood changes."
