I've been taking Microgestin fe 1/20 and I have been getting many side affects?

Question

I know that during the first three months, many people get side affects but I feel as though I am dying and hurting all the time. The side affects that I have been getting are breaking out (chest, face and back), rashes, sometimes I get so many pain and soreness and even numbness in my arms and legs, my hair has been falling out like crazy, mood swings, headaches.

I am on my second month of taking it and I was wondering if I should just keep being a trooper and take it to see if the side affects go away or should I stop taking it? 

But I was wondering if there are other birth control pills out there that are better and more trusted but cheaper than 80 bucks. I took lo loesintrin before and I loved it but it was too expensive.

Stop taking it and go back to your doctor. Although it is normal to have some side effects sometimes, what you are describing sounds more like an allergic reaction that a side effect. Get to your Dr asap and explain what is happening. They should be able to find you another affordable pill that you hopefully won't be allergic to,

Stop taking it and go back to your doctor.  There are so many different types of Pill on the market.  It may take several go's to find the one that is best for you.  You do not need to suffer for 3 weeks, let alone 3 months!  If your doctor tells you to persevere, tell him/her to go to buggery and go to a different doctor or Family Planning Clinic.
