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 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'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!
