"i started taking loestrin in sep 2015 after experiencing weight gain, general sadness and headaches on yasmin. at the time i was starting a new job &amp; training for a marathon so initially put my anxiety down to that. however after completing the race &amp; becoming settled &amp; happy in my new job i still experiencing severe anxiety, having panic attacks and racing negative thoughts. i stopped taking loestrin, within days the symptoms subsided. this month (feb 2016) i foolishly decided to give the pill another chance convincing myself i had been over-reacting to the side effects previously. within 4 days the symptoms returned, stopped taking &amp; already getting back to normal"
