LoSeasonique (ethinyl estradiol/levonorgestrel) for Birth Control: I have been on this pill for a month and half now. I have experienced an increase in my eating, I have been getting dizzy for a few minutes, and a rash of whitish pimples on my chest and on my forearm that I have never had before. I haven't experienced any bleeding or any period at all which is good because my periods were pretty bad. I just hope these side effects go away.

LoSeasonique (ethinyl estradiol/levonorgestrel) for Birth Control: I have been taking Loseasonique for 3 and a half weeks now, and for the past 2 weeks or so have been experiencing what I think is spotting? I really hope this goes away soon because it defeats the purpose of taking this pill. I would rather get my period for 4 days like I usually do than to have "spotting" for 2 weeks. I Also have mild acne increase, along with some abnormal emotional sensitivity. I'm going to try to stick it out for another 2 weeks or so at least but I don't know how long I can handle the "spotting" , and I'm afraid of possible future side effects.

LoSeasonique (ethinyl estradiol/levonorgestrel) for Birth Control: I am just finished my 2nd week of pills, but had to go off from the medicine do to sudden severe panic attacks and hypertension. Just stopped taking them today and hoping the effects go away quickly!! Could have possibly been an allergic reaction. Also had bleeding for the entire 2 weeks so far.

LoSeasonique (ethinyl estradiol/levonorgestrel) for Abnormal Uterine Bleeding: I am on my second, three month pack of LoSeasonique and I am seriously contemplating stopping the birth control. My first three month pack, around week six I started bleeding. This lasted about a week and I thought my body was adjusting. Since then my face has broken out - I have never had acne problems. I am now on week four of my second cycle of pills, and I am now bleeding lightly again. I am experiencing the worst cramps I have ever had in my life. All I do is sleep, and I am still exhausted all the time. I can't even get myself to do normal activities like grocery shopping.

LoSeasonique (ethinyl estradiol/levonorgestrel) for Abnormal Uterine Bleeding: I'm going on my 3rd week of LoSeasonique and have been bleeding ever since I started. Just when I think it's going to stop, it's starts heavier again. I do get a little dizzy, but I'm hoping it's just my body getting used to the hormones and I'll stabilize soon. No skin problems, and I feel I'm less emotional than with another pill I had tried.

LoSeasonique (ethinyl estradiol/levonorgestrel) for Ovarian Cysts: So far so good on this medicine, I have tried just about every birth control pill out there, the only (and most annoying) side effects I have had so far are: breaking out really bad, there are waves of breakouts (mostly on my chin) that I have never had before, I am hoping that will subside. Also I have been more easily emotional about things, like if something is sad, I am more likely to cry about it than I would before. Hope this helps people out there wanting to try this, beware of any acne that may arise!

LoSeasonique (ethinyl estradiol/levonorgestrel) for Birth Control: I'm just finishing my second month of pills. I had a crazy increase in appetite the first month, but it's evened out now. But now I've been experiencing breakthrough bleeding for about nine days. I really hope it stops.

LoSeasonique (ethinyl estradiol/levonorgestrel) for Birth Control: Starting off with my condition before LoSeasonique... I had heavy periods, by the time I turned 20 my cramps were so bad that I had to rest a day and apply a heat pack. My skin was always breaking out and it was only worse in the summer.
I went to my doctor and he offered me three options: herb supplements, hormone pills or BC pills. I chose the last one. I'm not sexually active but college worries me so I figured better be safe than sorry.
After starting it, my skin was clearing up, my periods are still existing but are so light that I usually don't have to wear anything and my cramps are very mild. The only thing I recently experienced was 2 week period and some spotting, but as I said, it was very light. I'm glad I chose option three

LoSeasonique (ethinyl estradiol/levonorgestrel) for Birth Control: I was put on this pill to help out with my crazy emotions that I get about a week before my period. I almost done with my first 3 month dose and I have found that I have a big increase in my appetite. I have been experiencing more severe migrains and I get dizzy/lightheaded for a couple of minutes quite often. My skin has been breaking out with little pimples that are coverable but I can feel them and have never been there before. I have been on a variety of pills and this one has seemed to give me the most side effects. Since I have been on this pill I find myself getting extremely emotional about little things.

LoSeasonique (ethinyl estradiol/levonorgestrel) for Abnormal Uterine Bleeding: I have finished a 3- month pack for the purpose of reducing heavy bleeding probably caused by fibroids. The breakthrough bleeding never stopped. The package insert says this symptom occurs in 10% of the patients. Pros: more energy because I have fewer heavy periods. Cons: Still have abdominal pain once in 3 months during period, and have small amount of bleeding every day. I haven't decided whether to continue for another 3 months or seek a different treatment.

LoSeasonique (ethinyl estradiol/levonorgestrel) for Birth Control: I'm on the last week of the 3rd pack of Loseasonique. This is the first pack I've taken. Ever since starting the 3rd pack I have been experiencing breakthrough bleeding. I'm hoping that this is temporary and as I start taking the 2nd 90 day pack this will go away.

LoSeasonique (ethinyl estradiol/levonorgestrel) for Birth Control: I'm taking Loseasonique birth control pills...still on the first pack. I'm half way through the first pack that is for 3 months. Everything is normal for me but I've been bleeding lightly or should I say spotting for just about a month now. I have a week and a month before I finish with this pack. Just ready for the spotting to stop, but other than that I have no other problems or symptoms.

LoSeasonique (ethinyl estradiol/levonorgestrel) for Birth Control: After about a week on this birth control I started to get awful acne and had to stop taking it after two weeks. According to my doctor, a side effect for some people is worsening complexion. It also made it very difficult to sleep and wake up in the morning. All of these side effects stopped a few days after I was taken off the pills.

LoSeasonique (ethinyl estradiol/levonorgestrel) for Birth Control: I've been taking LoSeasonique for a little under a month. Not enough to do a thorough review, but so far so good. I'm almost done the first pack so I will see if I get any breakthrough bleeding.
