It was fine when I first started it. But couple months later, I started experiencing anxiety, I get panic attacks, makes me cry, shake and really bad chest pains. My anxiety has gotten to a point where I’m scared to drive. It made my feet swell up so bad that I had to get a size bigger shoes and yet it still didn’t help. I’m going to stop taking it, I had very bad sharp chest pain that I thought I was having a stroke.

Yeah, after I started taking this medication I cry about random things almost every day, and i have gone up at least one bra size and my breasts are sore. BUT, I've only had one period after starting this and it helps manage my flare ups. I am not a fan of all the side effects, but its effective so I'll keep using it.

The price of my other generic Loestrin went up so I was switched to this. They say that all generics are created equal and I have never believed that. Ever since starting this drug my breasts and nipples have been so sore and I'm now experiencing cramps during my period again. Never had any of that before starting this.
