Extreme Side Effects?i

I'm 17 years old, and started Loestrin 24 fe roughly 4 months ago. Ever since I've started I've experienced dizzy spells, nausea, migraines, mood swings, and significant weight loss. I lost 7 pounds without trying (leaving me at 110 pounds) Has anyone else experienced this too, or should I be concerned about something other than birth control?

You should definitely contact your doctor, those are normal side effects for oral contraceptives. They can cause some minor symptoms, but they should definitely not be that severe.

Thus, there is a concern it may be more than just the pills causing it.

Are there any other questions or comments?
