I'm in the same boat with quite a few: Uncontrollable mood swings and increased irritability, depression and anger. I don't sleep very well and am exhausted after a few hours of being up. I haven't had any acne problems, but I don't like the surprise periods I've gotten. They said they're not supposed to happen (for sure after the first two or three months) and I've been on it for almost six months and I get random periods that last for two weeks. I've gained almost 20 pounds too. This is the first birth control I've been on, and I'll tell ya, it's not fun!

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 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?

I have been taking Quasense for about 6 weeks. I had horrible bleeding for 3 weeks straight, I've been getting really bad headaches that last for days at a time, my skin is breaking out and nothing seems to clear it up, I've gained 15 pounds since I began taking it, and I have uncontrollable mood swings.

Hi Guys I have been suffering from chronic daily headaches since March 2006. Have been to 4 neurologists and they all confirm that there is nothing seriously wrong with me neurologically and they put it down to stress.

I was given the fantastic news that my body doesn't like itself anymore. I don't know when it had a falling out, but all I can say is the course of action to remedy this disease is CRAZY. Taking meds that have more side effects and the restrictions on my daily life, because of the meds, no driving, no salt, no sugar, and little fat in my diet, very little sun. Bathing in skin moisturizer, moodiness, mental confusion, can't work, but expected to continue cooking for family, and cleaning. Which I guess ...

My partner insists that he's not drunk & he's just very tired. He has slured speech, incoherent, unsteady on his feet & drops off to sleep in the blink of an eye. Could it be something other that drink related? or is he just pretending to himself he's ok?
