"i just switched to this from loestrin 1/20 and i am happy i did. loestrin 1/20 had me crazy moody, bad acne, and melasma on my face. once i switched to lo loestrin fe no more crazy mood, acne is pretty much gone. just a few here and there but that&#039;s normal for me. period is pretty normal with only spotting on the last week. as for the melasma, it stopped spreading but i am now seeing a dermatologist to fix it.  my only downside with lo loestrin fe is that i have noticed my hair falling out a little bit more than usual but i hope it is one thing that will subside as i keep taking it. price wise it is reasonable. my insurance doesn&#039;t cover so i&#039;m suppose to pay $50 but with my coupon card i only pay $25. overall i am happy with lo loestrin fe"
