I'd be thrilled to skip a period. Heck, that's why my doctor prescribed Seasonale. The pharmacist, however, gave me Quasense instead. Let's see. It's 2am on Christmas Eve. I have basically been bleeding since HALLOWEEN. This is beyond ridiculous, and I really can't see myself "hanging in there" and waiting for it to stop. If I'm not all-out cramping, then it's just annoying, brown spotting. On top of that, my face has been breaking out since like, the second week of starting it. The insane thing is, I'm on Wellbutrin at the moment-- that pill is noted to decrease appetite and increase sex drive. I'm pretty sure Quasense is canceling THAT out entirely; I'm always hungry, and if I never had sex again I'd probably be thrilled. Worst. Birth Control. Ever.

I have been taking Quasense for 10 weeks and I have been bleeding for 2 months. Not period but the brown blood. I've also gained a lot of weight to the point it's noticeable by everyone. My appetite has also increased. Other than the bleeding the pills are fine.

I've been taking Quasense for only about 2 weeks, but so far it hasn't been good. I was sick to my stomach the whole first week and had no appetite. Also, when my normal period ended when I began taking the pill, it was like the last day of my period every day since then. I've got brown spotting every single day. I took this pill so I could feel comfortable having sex, but that side effect makes me feel more uncomfortable than ever! Are there other pills which work better than this? I specifically asked my doctor for Seasonale, and didn't notice until I got home that it wasn't what she prescribed for me.

I'm so relieved I found this site! I've been on Quasense for TWELVE DAYS and I am in a living hell, I feel like a prisoner in my own mind. Ever since I started taking these pills my mood has plummeted. So severely I had to see a psychiatrist! I am not generally a sad person, so when I realized I was constantly depressed for a week straight, I thought of what had changed just recently, and what do you know? This is the pill from hell. Today is the day I decided to just stop taking them all together.
