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 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?

I've taken about 5 different birth controls in my life and have NEVER had any side effects... until now. Quasense has made me so unbelievably grumpy, tired, and hungry... and I'm losing my sex drive without reason. I almost lost my job the other day simply because I was cranky beyond belief. I'm breaking out like I'm 14 again. I'm gaining weight that took me SO long to lose in the first place. And I feel like I'm going through menopause; HOT, cold, HOT, cold. YUCK!!! I'd have to say that Yaz (name brand) and Alesse(sp?)- a generic brand (not a generic of Yaz!)- have been the best ones I've tried, so I'm switching back to Alesse. I'd rather have a period once a month than have all this negative crap with "less" periods a year. It's not worth it. Seriously. I suggest you ALL try something else. Yaz is name-brand AND cheaper than Quasense AND Seasonal! Good luck to all of you- I'm switching back today!
