Switching From Loestrin 24 Fe To Lomedia (Page 4)

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.

REPORT

My wife just switched from Loestrin to Lomedia, after 9 years, because her OBGYN said they are currently only prescribing the generic version. I immediately saw a change in her emotions, sensitivity and overall mood swings. As a husband, there is nothing scarier than seeing your wife's personality change over night. She will NEVER take this birth control ever again.

Men, please warn every female in your life to avoid this birth control at all costs.

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!

Lomedia 24 FE was NOT discontinued. It has been on backorder for months but not discontinued.
Loestrin 24 FE was discontinued years ago and Lomedia 24 FE is a good replacement for it. They said demand has been so high that they have not been able to keep up but should have more supply ready in about a month.
