I chose this type of b/c pill to decrease number of periods after having my second child. I started out w/ packs of Seasonique my OB gave me and have just recently started taking the Quasense. What an ABSOLUTE WASTE OF MONEY! I have been on it for 8 weeks, have gained 10 pounds, and have suffered from headaches. I am so pissed b/c I, like some other women, listened to the pharmacist who assured me this pill was just as good as Seasonale. I had a period, a heavy, heavy period, for 3 weeks. Are these companies ever going to be held responsible for putting ineffective drugs on the market or are the idiots people vote into office going to continue protecting them? Does anyone know if it is possible to take unused packets back for a refund? I live outside of the U.S. so I had to fill my entire prescription at one time, which means I have 3 unused packs that I really do not want to take!!
