Quasense and pharmacist

I'd be thrilled to skip a period. Heck, that's why my doctor prescribed Seasonale. The pharmacist, however, gave me Quasense instead. Let's see. It's 2am on Christmas Eve. I have basically been bleeding since HALLOWEEN. This is beyond ridiculous, and I really can't see myself "hanging in there" and waiting for it to stop. If I'm not all-out cramping, then it's just annoying, brown spotting. On top of that, my face has been breaking out since like, the second week of starting it. The insane thing is, I'm on Wellbutrin at the moment-- that pill is noted to decrease appetite and increase sex drive. I'm pretty sure Quasense is canceling THAT out entirely; I'm always hungry, and if I never had sex again I'd probably be thrilled. Worst. Birth Control. Ever.

I chose this type of b/c pill to decrease number of periods after having my second child. I started out w/ packs of Seasonique my OB gave me and have just recently started taking the Quasense. What an ABSOLUTE WASTE OF MONEY! I have been on it for 8 weeks, have gained 10 pounds, and have suffered from headaches. I am so pissed b/c I, like some other women, listened to the pharmacist who assured me this pill was just as good as Seasonale. I had a period, a heavy, heavy period, for 3 weeks. Are these companies ever going to be held responsible for putting ineffective drugs on the market or are the idiots people vote into office going to continue protecting them? Does anyone know if it is possible to take unused packets back for a refund? I live outside of the U.S. so I had to fill my entire prescription at one time, which means I have 3 unused packs that I really do not want to take!!

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.
