Quasense and pills

I am really sorry for everyone out there that had bad experiences with Quasense. I had been taking this pill for 9 months and I loved it. It had cleared up my acne and I had absolutely no spotting, my periods were lighter and they would usually last for about 2-3 days. The only side effect I had were daily headaches. I do suffer from migraines every once in a while so these headaches were nothing compared to migraines, but they started coming everyday. I talked with my mom about it and she said it could be from the pills. So I stopped taking them. The headaches went away, but other things came back. I started getting acne again, my cramping got worse. I went back to my doctor and I was prescribed an antibiotic for my acne, and a regular birth control that I can take for 3 weeks and I just skip the dummy pills and start a new pack like the Quasense. Still to this day I haven’t gotten rid of my acne and that was my only reason for going on the pill. I want to get back on Quasense because I think the headaches are worth a pretty face. And from reading all the posts I think I got off lucky with just the headaches. Or I might even consider Seasonale if everyone says its so great.

Has anyone been on Quasense for awhile and the breakthrough bleeding has stopped. I have been on this product for 2 months now and in the past two weeks have experienced bleeding. the last week it has gotten heavier. I don't want to give up on this product so I need to know if anyone out there has been on this birth control and over time the side effects have stopped.

I'm reading through all these complaints and now I realize that it wasn't just me. I'm on my second pack of Quasense and all of a sudden I'm breaking out everywhere, I've started spotting which I never use to and I get nauseated every so often making me question if these pills are working correctly. The first three months I was on Quasense I had no problems but now that I'm in the middle of the second pack all of these symptoms started to appear. I even made an OBGYN visit just to see if something was seriously wrong with me. I'm so getting off these pills as soon as I can. I wish my insurance would cover Seasonal.

I was prescribed Seasonale for Endometriosis. My physician told me i didn't have to take the week of placebo pills and i could hold off my period indefinitely if i wanted to. This was over 4 years ago. I went nearly 4 years without a period, that is until Quasense came out and it was like Quasense was a placebo. Several weeks into it i started spotting. I switched back to Seasonale with no break through bleeding for another couple of years when i was given Quasense again through the pharmacy as a substitute. Here i am 5 weeks into this pill and bleeding once again. Seasonale held off my periods even on the placebo week. I think my body thinks im not on the pill at all with Quasense and it takes more than a few weeks on it to start the bleeding process since a week off of Seasonale didn't even start a period for me.

I called my pharmacy and told them about it and they said my insurance wouldnt pay for a new pack until it was time to refill it but they would call to see if they would override that and allow me to get Seasonale. Turns out the insurance company had no problems allowing me to get the name brand pill given the problems i am having on Quasense.

I am pleased to know that im not the only one to have this awfully heavy break through bleeding. I'd say in over 4 years of no periods on Seasonale that Quasense definitely has something different going on pharmaceutically- i dont care what they say about the active ingredients having to be the same to be equivalent!

I have been on Quasense since September. I have noticed vigyna discomfort itching and have check twice with the doctor to see if it's a yeast infection but it turns out to be nothing. I have just figured out it's from the pills. It's very uncomfortable I will be changing to something else. The only thing positive about this pill is my breast have enlarged:)

I have been on Quasense for 3 months and 1 week. Since I started Quasense I have had break through bleeding for the entire time. I was on Ortho Tri-cyclen for 12 years so I figured my body would need time to adjust to the new pills. But after all this time my body should be adjusted and should stop bleeding!!!! I hate wearing a pad every day and I refuse to do it for the rest of my life. I wanted a pill that would stop my period but this is definitely not the one. I would rather bleed for 4 days then not bleed again for 3 weeks. Quasense sucks!!!!

I've been on Quasense for 6 months now. The first pack of pills (3 months) were fine but now I am on my second pack and I started heavily bleeding about a month before my placebos were supposed to start. This has gone on for 2 weeks straight now! This isn't spotting. This is really heavy bleeding-way more than even a normal period, and I have been getting fibrous tissue-y clots in the blood too. It's freaking me out beyond belief, and pissing me off to not be able to have sex this long. For a pill that's supposed to make your periods more conveniently absent, this one is doing a horrible job. I would rather go back to having a monthly period with a normal 28 day pill cycle than this. Apparently I am not the only one having this issue, which makes me feel more "normal" with the side effects I am experiencing-but it sucks nonetheless. I have a new unused pack I bought before this crap started happening. Anyone wanna buy it? I'll sell it to you real cheap.

I was on Quasense for about 5 weeks when the bleeding started. I would go through the whole day without any bleeding and then right after I showered at night I would have spotting, it was almost so little that it was annoying because I couldn't just ignore it. This happened for 4 weeks straight!! It was about the same amount every day, but did not stop until I stopped taking the pill all together. After I missed 2 pills I got my normal period, and now I will be switching to another pill, do not take Quasense unless you want to be inconvenienced!!!

i took jolessa for one cycle (3 months) and loved it. now i'm on quasense and i've had brownish-red breakthrough bleeding for over two weeks during the end of month 2 and beginning of month 3. not to mention diarrhea and headaches. quasense SUCKS and i'm going to the doctor tomorrow to get on seasonale, even if it costs more.

I have only taken the generic, but just realized that I have not been able to loose weight after having my baby. I also have had headaches and diarreha. I have had anxiety and depression. I have been to the dr. many times trying to figure out what is wrong with me. I have had chronic fatigue as well. I think this pill may be the reason i feel so bad. Has anyone else had these side effects?
