Some months I feel fine on this, but some months I have a lot of breast tenderness and severe mood swings and depression. I was a little skeptical about switching from Estrostep to this generic, but I really want to go back to Estrostep. I have had bad breast tenderness for days and very low energy and bad mood swings.

My periods were extremely heavy and lasted 4-5 days with major cramping. I switched back to Estrostep Fe last month and after getting an extremely LIGHT period, no cramping, and NO DEPRESSION I've decided I am willing ... Show Full Comment

Sometimes, you really do get what you pay for.

I have tried two other oral contraceptive brands before Tilia Fe, and have had absolutely no emotional/physical side effects with this specific prescription. I am absolutely relieved that this medication exists and works so well with my hormone levels.
