Q: Seasonale & Moodiness

I've just switched to seasonale because I have bad cramps and headaches when i'm on my period, so I thought this was a good choice. I am experiencing extreme moodiness and can cry at the drop of a hat. I don't feel like myself anymore and am getting concerned because others have noticed, my husband included. Although my sex drive has increased, I feel angry or sad a lot of the time. I'm only into week 3, but i'm debating if I should go back to my other pills. I did very well on them, but looked forward to the 4 periods/year thing. I don't know if this is all in my head or if this pill really can do this but i'm trying to decide if I should wait another month or switch back. My husband and I usually get along very well but lately i'm upset about everything! Other than that I haven't noticed other major changes, but then again, i'm just starting. I'd appreciate any advice.

Seasonale

I recently went on seasonale because the thought of 4 periods a year sounded good. I am here to tell you that it made me so moody and upset feeling, I hate this pill, I am going back to yasmin. Plus on seasonale you bleed all the time it seems like and on yasmin my periods were so predictable. '

Seasonale: Weight Gain

Well, I have been on seasonale for almost a year now. It is o.K. When it comes to periods. They are not to bad and are short. But, my moods!! Oh my gosh! I am either happy or crying. Or throwing objects!Haha! Also, my weight has went up and I haven't changed anything in my diet or exercise. Has anyone noticed weight gain? Maybe it is me, but it is not fun.

Seasonale And Moodiness

Just started my 5th month on seasonale. I have really noticed a difference in my moods...Extremely upset, angry, and depressed at certain times. I don't know if I can continue with this...I don't feel like myself.

Re: Seasonale And Moodiness

[i have been on seasonale for about 18 months now and I take it continuously without having 4 periods per year. I do this because I have endometriosis and it causeses me to have nearly constant bleeding and cramping. At any rate, I am about to try to switch to something else because I have absolutley no sex drive at all. I also have had moodiness and more acne problems and possibly some weight gain. Anyone have any suggestions on a bcp with low sexual side effects?
Thanks

I started an off-brand of Seasonale last year and have been feeling extremely moody, especially the month I'm due to start. My sex drive has been non-existent and my husband mentioned that he thought it was the pill but I didn't think that was the problem. But after reading your posts it seems like it could be. Looks like I'm making an app. to try something else yet again!
