Switching From Loestrin 24 Fe To Lomedia (Page 4) (Top voted first)

I am one of the customers unhappy with the discontinuation of Loestrin 24 Fe. I saw so many negative reviews with those who switched to Minastrin that I refused to take it despite what my nurse was trying to say. I researched and knew a generic was coming. I have waited since October of last year for Lomedia and picked up my prescription and pills 3 weeks ago. I still haven't taken them because I'd like to know about the experience on these pills. Has anyone taken Lomedia? Please share your experience so we can all be informed.

Update my friends. I took the Lomedia and became a hot mess... a HOT HOT MESS. I am crazy enough as it is (I'm kidding. I'm pretty level headed all the time except at work lol) but the Lomedia took me to another place. I was short tempered, had mood swings like crazy, no libido, I was depressed... Lomedia was ALL bad for me. I switched back to and am paying out of pocket for Minastrin now and while it's an added expense I didn't want, I feel GOOD on it. LADIES BE WARE! Get really in tune with yourself so you recognize your crazy!

Exactly what's happening with me, long period starting again on week 3, about a week straight of not sleeping. This pill sucks.

I'm on the microgestin. I had no problems with Loestrin when I was on it, but the microgestin is giving me CRAZY mood swings! Crying for no reason! Feeling alone in the world after just having gotten married and being surrounded by many friends and family! And lethargy! OH the lethargy!

I think you're right that it might have something to do with the inactive ingredients, but don't be surprised if Microgestin isn't the answer for you.
