Quasense and sex drive

Ive been taking this for almost 3 months im about to take my first placebo pills in 4 days. the first month was amazing, i had no problems and my boobs even got a little bigger which made me happy. Around the 2nd half of the 2nd month i started getting the brownish discharge and i have it every day...i don't have any problems with sex drive..and the discharge doesn't bother my husband because it seems to go away until a few hours after we have sex and it never seems to get heavier. Ive always been a little underweight no matter how much i scarfed down everyday.. and i gained a few pounds so i look much healthier. I used to take ortho-tricyclen lo and i had pretty bad mood swings and they seem to be about the same now..so maybe im just naturally a moody bitch sometimes. Im going to keep taking this for at least the rest of the year until i either balance out and get better or something gets worse and i cant take it anymore.

This pill has increase the intensity and frequency of my migraines. I was put on Quasense because of menorrhagia. Instead of getting a break, I started getting my period a week early, and it's been 22 days and it hasn't stopped, with some days light, some heavy. I called my physician and have stopped taking this pill, after being on it for 6 weeks. I also did gain 7 pounds, around my middle. It wasn't worth it.

I will never take this pill ever again. I have been on birth control for over 10 years and I have never experienced anything like this. I have been on at least 6 different types and this crap is insane. I have been on it for almost 3 months and have gained almost 10 pounds in my stomach and waistline, I have constant cramping in my stomach for the last month, I will not stop bleeding for the last month although my period is not due for another 2 weeks, i lost my sex drive completely, nausea, diarrhea, headaches, dizzy spells. all of the above basically. I started taking it because I skipped my period using my regular birth control. by not taking the placebo pills and starting a new pack. I've been doing that for over 4 years and I have never had this kind of reaction to anything. No one should take this pill. RUN FROM IT! if your doctor writes it down... say no... and ask for something else. Because it should be banned. I don't think they tested this one enough. The FDA needs to look again at this pill.

I've only been on this medicine for two weeks and I already have completely lost my sex drive and am so irritable. I have not experienced any spotting yet though. I am definitely going off it!

I love Quasense. I have been on it for about a year and a half. For the first year, I took it for the 3 month, would have a very short period for the placebo week and I had no breakthrough bleeding. My gynecologist told me I could skip the placebo week and start the new pack to avoid having a period at all. Every once in a while I will have spotting when I start the next pack after not taking the placebo, but its very light. Other than that, I have not gained any weight, my appetite is the same, I don't have nausea. I don't have any cramping, I don't have mood swings, it improved my acne. Other birth controls I have taken in the past has made me gain weight, or given my acne or made me nausea. I love this stuff.

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!

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?
