Comparing Blisovi 24 Fe vs Lo Loestrin Fe

For Birth Control I was prescribed this as my regular birth control (Meliane) was not available here. I completed my first month on Blisovi and it has been horrible. It made me very irritable and paranoid (I'm usually laid back to indifferent) and it has killed all sex drive I had. I've had more than usual hair loss with dry skin and scalp. It also caused vaginal dryness for me and made sex uncomfortable. I've had bad constipation despite upping my intake of fiber to counter things and when it was time for my period, I didn't bleed but had severe cramps and backaches- basically all my PMS symptoms without bleeding which made me worried about being pregnant (I checked and am not). The good thing is that it is completely covered by my insurance.

For Birth Control Was on name brand Loestrin 24 when it came out 10 years ago. Switched over to name brand Minastrin chewables since that was the replacement Loestrin. I had no issues or side effects, get my period every so often and it would be very light. Switched insurance at it was $425 for a pack!!! So I called my doctor asking for a generic version and was prescribed Blisovi. The ingredients are identical, but I've been on it a month and a half and have gained 6 pounds. I follow a strict low carb diet and am celiac, so I am able to maintain my weight. Despite what I eat or drink, The weight is piling on and I have been spotting every other week. I've been on BCP for 10 years, you'd think I'd be pretty consistent.

For Birth Control I started this pill to alleviate migraines and prevent pregnancy. Overall, my experience with this pill has been wonderful from day one. I don't have any breakouts, no migraines, no weight gain, and I haven't gotten my period once in the seven months I've been on it. The downside: I'm overly emotional. I will cry over a commercial, now. And I'm paranoid all the time of being pregnant.

For Birth Control Started taking Lolo about 2 years ago for extreme cramping and periods that made me sick and lasted over a week. About 6-7 months on the pill my period stopped completely and it was great. Never noticed any serious side effects until a few months ago I was so emotional and felt like I could snap at any moment. My sex drive has been zero and my weight has increased 15lbs in less than a year. I feel I can not control my hunger and cravings anymore. I didn’t think I could get side effects almost a year later. I have recently switched to tri-linyah and am a little nervous for how my body will react. It was nice not having a period though for sure.
