I started Seasonique @ the end of Nov
2008. I am now halfway through the first
month of my second 3 month pack (so 4 mos
on the pill).
I am starting to feel as if it was the
first month all over again. I am
nauseated and my breasts are killing me.
Unlike the first month I am experiencing
cramping. Now I have been through
breakthrough bleeding back in Jan and this
is different (those cramps were more in my
lower back and the flow was quite heavy -
the doc said that everything was fine).
I have been cramping for 3 days, but
there is no bleeding.
I was jus wondering if anyone else has had
this happened them?
-also just a side note when it was time
for the placebo pills my period was just 1
day and it actually happened the friday
before the sunday I was to start the
"yellow" pills. (that was roughly 2-3
weeks ago).

It may just be that you're having a bad
month. Not every month will be identical.
I've had "normal" periods, light periods,
bloating, cramping, and I took a pill for
3 years.

SEASONIQUE Posted: 07-09-08 16:02pm
Here's my advice...
stop taking seasonique NOW!!!!
I took seasonique for almost two years. I
noticed my hair shedding a little bit but
I didn't think too much about it because I
have thick, curly hair. Then clumps
started falling out. Now I have bald
spots on my head. Do some research, this
is a side effect of the birth control. I
also suffered severe cysts which exploded,
several infections and cramping, bloating,
pain and discomfort while I took
seasonique. Find an alternative birth
control before you're bald too.

OMG I am definitely going to stop taking
this now. I don't even have sex that much.
I didn't know all this could happen!! I
just wanted to skip periods. My gyno
actually suggested it.

Seasonique Warning! Discuss with your doctor first! Posted: 09-26-08 21:16pm
Please listen to me everyone! I normally
do not post messages regarding bad
medication experiences, because each
person reacts differently, but this is
important. I have been on many birth
control pill since I was 17 (I am 25 now).
I asked my obgyn to put me on Seasonique
because I was attracted to the four a year
periods. I could not have made a worst
choice! I used one pack completely (3
month supply) and suffered severe side
effects. I developed multiple cystic-like
zits on my jaw line that required
anti-histamine shots from my
Dermatologist. In addition to my face
blemishes, I also developed severe acne on
my back and chest.
The most severe problem I experienced was
hair loss and hair thinning. Trust me, it
is very noticeable. After stopping the
pill, I continued to lose hair at the same
rate. This undoubtedly has caused me
incredible emotional problems. I have
researched and found this may be due to
high level of androgens in the pills. I
am not a doctor, but I would bring this up
with one if you are even slightly
considering this pill.
To top off this list, this pill caused me
the most intense mood swings, depression,
and bloating that I have ever encountered
with a birth control pill. My family,
boyfriend, and co-workers all noted my
extreme change.
I am not telling you completely forgo
trying Seasonique even though I would
absolutely if I got a redo. What I am
saying is that if you want to try this
pill, do your research and absolutely make
your doctor discuss any and all side
effects.
