"loestrin 24 was recommended to me by my doctor. i took it for 7 months. i had no physical side effects, just a bit moody in the first week. my problem is with the program itself. i don&#039;t have a great insurance, but since they boast of a discount card, i did that for a while. i only paid 24 dollars until january when they changed their discount program and didn&#039;t inform me. now, it&#039;s only 24 dollars off the original price (which is somewhere around 90 dollars) - or whatever your insurance will provide. this was upsetting since i was faced with being at the pharmacy counter and having to make the decision to refuse my refill because i didn&#039;t know about the policy change and couldn&#039;t afford it at the time."
