Birth Control
"Loestrin calmed down my extreme mood swings from the patch (I was on the patch for a year).  However, my husband says that two weeks out of the month, I&#039;m &quot;normal&quot; and the following two weeks &quot;crazy.&quot;  What he means by this is that prior to my period, I have major PMS symptoms ranging from waking up angry, becoming overly sensitive, sadness, and bloating.   I&#039;m not saying that Loestrin causes the symptoms, for that I can never adequately prove. I am saying, however, that Loestrin does not tame it down.  Also, I have more breakouts now with this pill than when I was on the patch."
