Ok i was on Alesse.. for like 6 months and
they changed me to lutra mainly cause i
kept getting depressed and couldnt handle
things around me. Anyways i;m having
really weird side effects again my breasts
are really sore almost all the time and
even see bruising some morning.. it also
seems i cant remember things as i use to
either.. also have bad mood swings and
want to cry.. not sure if its from birth
control or something else. can anyone
suggest what i can do

Are you on anything else that could
explain it? Anti depressants and anti
anxiety medications are more known for
those types of side effects. Sore breasts
and mood swings could be the birth
control, but everything together suggests
maybe something else.
Otherwise, I would go to a doc and ask- it
may be something else that you do not want
to blow off just because you're on the
pill.
Anyway, you should report your side
effects even if they are common. Most side
effects of b/c pills are supposed to go
away within three months or so, if they
don't, you should switch so you aren't
miserable. But in this case, I'd find out
sooner because it doesn't sound good.

No i'm not on anything else.. they wanted
to put me on prozac but i heard nothing
but bad about it and wasnt sure i needed
it anyways. Just had alot going on at that
time and i just couldnt deal with it. But
yea i'm going to go talk to a dr the only
problem is with the clinic i went to they
ripped me off so i have to find another..
but yea the memory problems have gone away
i think it was just over stress and to
much going on. but the bruising and sore
nipples are still there some not as bad
though.

Yeah, side effects like that are supposed
to go away within a few months. If you
can't wait it out, you can switch to
something else once you settle on a new
clinic.
