Jolessa and cramps

I love Jolessa! I haven't had any major side effects. I take pills continuously and just have light break throughs every now and then — much more manageable than my normal period! I haven't experienced weight gain, though my breasts are slightly larger than when I am off the pill, a pretty normal side effect of any pill. No mood swings and 100% less cramps than my normal cycle. Every woman is different, so this may or not be the pill for you!

I've been on it for about 9 months 3 cycles, I gained water weight in the beginning but I lost it, but all of a sudden I started spotting today, that's why I'm doing my research, I do think Jolessa made my cramps a 100 times worse though!
So I think I'm gonna try something else?

I started the pills on 6/1/08 first 2 weeks was fine them after the third week is been horrible, spotting everyday non stop I can;t take anymore the cramps are killing me. Is anyone experience anything like this and when is this going to stop i hated . Any advice thinking to come off the pills. No headache, nausea, stomach pains, depression just cramps

I looked up all the symptoms on a formal drug website and not only did I have all of the minor symptoms I had at least 4 of the ones that said go seek medical attention right away. I called my doctors office and basically got scolded for calling them asking them a question about what I should do.Supposedly I'm fine and they said it wont kill me one more week to wait it out.... secretly I hoped it would (( but that was just the depression from this damn pill )) I've decided to stop taking it today. The cramps its supposed to be preventing really aren't gone and I don't need all this other crap along with them.

My Dr. prescribed Seasonale, but pharmacy gave me generic Jolessa. I've been taking it for 1 1/2 months and have been bleeding since after the 1st week. I have mass amounts of constant brown discharge and clotting with daily breakthrough bleeding. I get headaches, cramping, bloating, light headed and dizzy episodes, and my mood has been edgy (maybe from a sexless marriage due to these pills, lol). I've been taking bc for 16 years and have never experienced these symptoms with any other pill I've taken.

Spoke with my doctor's office a few weeks ago and was told that the bleeding can be normal and don't be surprised if it lasts for 2 WHOLE CYCLES that is 6 months of bleeding and clotting! I know what is normal for my body and this is not it! I'm calling my doctor for the 2nd time today and will demand my prescription be changed to either the name brand Seasonale (which my ins will cover) or my previous pill.

I refuse to take this pill anymore. Ever since I started taking it, I have been extremely emotional and irritable. I have always been a pansy, but since I started Jolessa, I cry over EVERYTHING! Also, if I was as little as 30 minutes late taking my pill, I would start getting cramps. And this is the icing on the cake. My period started two weeks before it was supposed to and has been going on for two weeks straight. It has finally started getting lighter, but the cramps are still bad. I stopped taking the pills two days ago and will never take another one. This product is horrible.

Not recomending Jolessa. I have had horrible pms anyways but now I miss a pill by a short time and start spotting. No acne problems at all but bloating and not as happy as before definetly.
