"I have never written a review online for anything in my entire life, but because of my extremely negative experience w/ Loestrin Fe, I feel inclined to. I was prescribed this BC to help regulate my hormone levels, my period, and the physical side effects of PCOS. I tried to remain hopeful while on this pill and stick it out for a full 3 months, but after just two full months, I was advised by my gyno &amp; family members/ friends to stop using it. This BC exacerbated my previously mild depression and anxiety to a level where I could not get out of bed or go outside. I would spend hours lying in bed and crying; I was so miserable. If you&#039;re someone who has even very mild depression/anxiety, I would recommend being HIGHLY cautious before starting"
