"i must say i really like this pill vs all the others i&#039;ve tried. i was on minastrin before switching to this. i gained 26lbs on the minastrin. it also effected my mood terribly. i was mad and angry all the time. i&#039;ve been on lo loestrin for about 3 months and i love it! i&#039;ve already lost almost all the weight i gained and no mood swings!!! i also don&#039;t have a period on this pill. that&#039;s a big bonus! not every person responds to the pill the same but i&#039;m so glad my ob have me this."
