I've taken about 5 different birth controls in my life and have NEVER had any side effects... until now. Quasense has made me so unbelievably grumpy, tired, and hungry... and I'm losing my sex drive without reason. I almost lost my job the other day simply because I was cranky beyond belief. I'm breaking out like I'm 14 again. I'm gaining weight that took me SO long to lose in the first place. And I feel like I'm going through menopause; HOT, cold, HOT, cold. YUCK!!! I'd have to say that Yaz (name brand) and Alesse(sp?)- a generic brand (not a generic of Yaz!)- have been the best ones I've tried, so I'm switching back to Alesse. I'd rather have a period once a month than have all this negative crap with "less" periods a year. It's not worth it. Seriously. I suggest you ALL try something else. Yaz is name-brand AND cheaper than Quasense AND Seasonal! Good luck to all of you- I'm switching back today!

I've been on Quasense for 6 months now. The first pack of pills (3 months) were fine but now I am on my second pack and I started heavily bleeding about a month before my placebos were supposed to start. This has gone on for 2 weeks straight now! This isn't spotting. This is really heavy bleeding-way more than even a normal period, and I have been getting fibrous tissue-y clots in the blood too. It's freaking me out beyond belief, and pissing me off to not be able to have sex this long. For a pill that's supposed to make your periods more conveniently absent, this one is doing a horrible job. I would rather go back to having a monthly period with a normal 28 day pill cycle than this. Apparently I am not the only one having this issue, which makes me feel more "normal" with the side effects I am experiencing-but it sucks nonetheless. I have a new unused pack I bought before this crap started happening. Anyone wanna buy it? I'll sell it to you real cheap.
