About 6 months ago I started birth control on loestrin 24 fe, and noticed that I became very moody and depressed as well as a slight weight increase (which is to be expected with any bc). My mood swings have been to the extreme lately causing me and my boyfriend of well over a year to split up as well as relationships with my family members to become extremely distant. I don't have as many friends as I use to, I have become very insecure as well as other things. I'm only 19 years old. So I went to my gyno and she decided the best thing for me would be to switch to ortho tri-cyclen lo, so any information that you have, preferably with experienxe, would be appreciated.
