Loestrin To Lomedia

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.

Has anyone taken Lomedia? Please share your experience so we can all be informed. ## Hello, Kimmie! How are you?

I was prescribed Lomedia by my gynecologist. But my problem now is that i dont know when to start...

I've been on lomedia since feb. Haven't been able to lose the 12 lbs I gained since starting it ( mind you I work out 4-5 days a week) I get about 4-5 headaches a week, I get nauseous all the time and sometimes morning sickness bc I take it at night. I've been extremely lethargic and all I want to do is sleep. I barely get my period. I'm switching to lo loestrin.
