Do NOT take Quasense. I was on Seasonale for a full cycle (3 months) and had no side effects. Then Quasense came out and my insurance refused to cover Seasonale. Now I have had terrible spotting (not even spotting, it is a period without the cramps). I had bleeding for 3 weeks straight, it stopped for a week, and now it's been going again for another 3 weeks. The entire pill pack is a waste because even when I get to the end of the pack all I have is yet ANOTHER period. Quasense also caused stomach irritation and made me sick after eating anything dairy- and I have never been lactose intolerant. I am getting off of this pill ASAP.

I've been taking generics of seasonale since last november. Up until a month ago, I had taken Jolessa the whole time, but my insurance refused to cover it anymore and now I have to take Quasense. My mood swings and weight gain didn't bother me as much before, but for the past 4 weeks I've been crying over EVERYTHING. I'm so emotional and start fights and get upset over the smallest things. I'm always so tired and I wake up with horrible headaches that feel like someone's standing on my head. I find myself having cramps that I shouldn't be having, and having bowel movements after everything I eat. The whole time I was on Jolessa, I never used to spot between periods, and (thank god) haven't found that happening yet with Quasense. Should I call my doctor and try a new contraceptive method all together?

I started taking Quasense in September. I was fine for the first 2 weeks, and then suddenly started having period like symptoms; cramping, mood swings, tiredness. Then came the bleeding. It is now mid October, and for the last month I have had a off and on heavy clotting, cramps, diarehea. Also, I was never one to get pimples, and have been battling acne now. I have also had a major decrease in my sex drive. The only positive (which really makes no difference when I look at the negatives) is that I have lost a few pounds while on this pill. My prescription was for the brand name seasonale, however I took quasense because I was assured by my pharmacist that it was the same all except for price.
Let me assure you.... Quasense is definetly not worth ANY co-pay, no matter how cheap or expensive it is, this has definetly been worse then getting a period once a month, considering you have a period almost the entire pack. UGH.

I gained almost 20 pounds that I can't take off (usually i lose weight with just diet, and now I can't with both diet and exercise). Basically I have a period and cramps all the time, which leads to me needing about 14 hours of sleep a night. Caffeine no longer works for me in the morning to wake up. Sometimes I have headaches which last for two days. So basically I'm paying 120 every month so I can be fat, tired, and bleeding- indeed a fabulous birth control, since I feel very unattractive!

I started taking Quasense around the end of May , when I first started taking it I was perfectly fine for the first month . Well I came on my period at the end of June which I wasn't expecting because your periods are only suppose to come every three months and I had just had a period before I had started taking the pill. Since the end of June I have been on my period , it stoped for about an week and came right back. I called an clinician and they said for the first three months of the pill your body is getting use to the hormones so I want to know will it eventuall stop soon, or what is going on with my body ,and also is this normal?
