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.

QUASENSE makes NO SENSE!!
I have been on Quasense now for almost a full 3 months. I have just decided to stop taking it. I originally thought it would be great to not have a period for three months at a time, and not worry about becoming pregnant- I already have a baby. Usually when I have my period, it is always heavy and I get very bad cramps. So just having a period every three months sounded great.
It hasn't been great. I get nausea often. Bad headaches. No sexual desire whatsoever. By boyfriend can really notice and is upset about it. Also, I am very crabby. But the worst of it all, I have been bleeding for the last 4 to 5 weeks straight! It's terrible! AND CRAMPING! I thought this medication would make my life better. It's not. It's not fun to do the pad/tampon thing everyday for 4 weeks +!! All while taking care of a baby and working a full-time job.

I have been taking Quasense for 3 months now and i have been on my period for almost 3 weeks now. It started as a normal period but i am now bleeding so badly that i can't make it through a class without bleeding through. Also, there is a flesh like discharge in my period too, it looks very unhealthy. I feel like this birth control is screwing up my body and I would recommend anyone who is taking it to stop. I feel very sick and am light headed all the time. I stopped taking the medication and the period continues and worsens.

I have been on quasense for 2 months, starting my 3rd month when I started to talk to my aunt about different birth controls. She told me her aunt was on Seasonale and my aunt was taking Seasonale (sp?) and they both hated it! My aunt started to tell me about the horrible 3 week periods and my sister has had the 3 week period of weird dark brown not blood but more of a solid clump? I haven't started to take the pills to help me with my period but after reading all of these comments I'm getting nervous to start taking them! I have noticed about a 5-7 pound weight gain (went to the doctors because of a yeast infection, which I have never had before), I get migraines about 7-8 times a year for about a week at a time, but after starting this new birth-control, I cannot get rid of my migraines no matter how much medication I take for it (and that medication makes the birth-control effectiveness go down :(...) and I have become quite irritable/bitchy with my boyfriend lately. I thought this was due to me starting college a couple weeks ago (the freshman 15, being stressed etc...) but now I'm not too sure. If anyone could PLEASE give me some idea as to what they think I should do as in keep taking quasense or switch to a new birth-control.
