DO NOT take this medication. You will have your period twice a month, and experience bad side effects. I thought maybe it would regulate after 2 months, and the side effects did not stop. This has been a frustrating experience, avoid this medication.

I gave this a try for 4 months now. I'm breaking out worse than I ever have and have gained several pounds. I have also been far more depressed and crying easily which I have never had an issue with.

They stopped making Loestrin Fe so my pharmacist gave me this drug. 2 weeks into it I started crying all the time, spacey, depression, and having panic attacks. I took myself off of the drug and my doctor has given me Minastrin and I feel like it is doing the same thing. Stay away from Gildess!!!!! HATE THIS DRUG!!!!
