User Reviews for Seasonique

I've now been using Seasonique for a year and I've been completely happy and unbelievably satisfied with this product. I have endometriosis so when my period came before I was on birth control it was dreadfully painful for the three to five days while I was on my period. I tried Yaz and it only made my periods regular, then I tried NuvaRing and that actually made my cramps worse and lasted for an entire week. After that I did tons of research and decided to try Seasonique. And for the past year I have only had maybe 2 hours worth of cramps the entire time. During the second refill I only blotted a little, but overall every symptom that follows endometriosis has disappeared! I highly recommend Seasonique. It's fantastic!

I have been taking this for endometriosis and have found it very effective. This isn't for the treatment of endometriosis but is for the prevention of pain that goes along with it.

I took Seasonique for 4 days and it gave me anxiety, heart palpitations, tremors, increased blood pressure.

I've been on Seasonique for a few years and I love it. Only four periods a year and they are much lighter. I do have some spotting in between periods but only four periods a year, out weighs the occasional spotting. It has really helped me with my endometriosis. I rarely experience symptoms from the endometriosis and when I do they are usually milder. I would recommend Seasonique to everyone!

I'm on my third week of my first month of Seasonique. Cons: Heavy breasts which comes and goes but the sensitive hurting nipples is what drives me crazy. It's been a bit better in this past week. The first couple of days I had really mild nausea but that's long gone. Pros: My complexion cleared up significantly, my acne has severely decreased. Unlike with other month to month birth controls I don't feel bloated or heavy. My appetite has increased (this is good because I need to gain weight and previously had very bad eating habits).

I have experienced daily pain of endometriosis for a number of years now. This medication has allowed me to have more energy as my energy is no longer taken by managing my pain. I do experience bloating in the third month but that's a minor side effect I can live with.

I am in my third month of taking this, and absolutely love it. The first two weeks I had headaches and slight nausea, so I switched taking it at night. So if you try this don't give up, it went away for me. I don't have mood swings, which I did before taking. I don't feel like I get bloated either. I've had some slight bleeding at the end of my second month, but doctor said that was normal that my body has to get used to the pill. Love the fact I don't have heavy periods anymore. I would recommend it. Looking forward to not having a period every month. My mood is stable and I feel happy. As far as acne goes, I can say it's not giving me any problems.

I started Seasonique 7 days ago and have experienced nausea, dizziness, anxiety and an overall sick feeling. I am now going to try Lo-Seasonique to see if that is any better.

It helped in the beginning. The first 6 months were great. I started cramping more after each period though. And now I have pain every day even when I take my pill. Still worth a try, plus it's nice not to have that many periods.

I am about 2 1/2 months into Seasonique and have had medium bleeding for the last 11 days. Also my hands are swollen and joints in them hurt like crazy. Doctor said he is switching me as I shouldn't be bleeding this much/long and it may not be strong enough for me. 1st month went fine though and I only was late by 3 hours on ONE pill. If you are trying these out make sure to take your pills ON TIME every night!

I took Seasonique for only two weeks, but I quit because of the severe and immediate mood changes I experienced while on it. I have an anxiety disorder, and when I started taking Seasonique, I started feeling more irritated/anxious. After that, my mood plummeted into a depression. I felt like crying or screaming all the time. I also developed acne, breast tenderness, and extreme bloating. When I stopped the pill, I started a period even though I had a period two weeks prior. When I stopped taking Seasonique, my mood improved. I have taken the pill before and never had this reaction. I am now going to get the Mirena IUD to treat my endometriosis/adenomyosis.

I was put on this pill to hold endometriosis at bay. 7 weeks into taking the pill I got my period. It has been 9 days so far at the regular flow of my period. On my old pills, I was lucky enough to only get a period every 2 or 3 months. I am going to switch. At least on my old pills I know when I was getting my period.

I have been taking Seasonique for 2 months to stop the continual cramping from endometriosis and the heavy period. The first month and a half, I didn't have a period, but I have been bleeding for 2 weeks straight, this is my 15th day of bleeding and horrible cramping. I did have energy at first and that was nice, along with the almost non-existent cramping until I started bleeding. I had sex last night and it hurt. I have also experienced hot flashes (the doctor said that this isn't because of this birth control), and I am 36. I have had heart palpitations, weight gain, anxiety, and major mood swings at times.

I started Seasonique in September of last year. The first 3 month pack worked awesome for me, my acne cleared up, my cramps from Endometriosis diminished, and I only had 1 period in 3 months with no break through bleeding or spotting. However, in week 5 of my second pack I started spotting, a week after that I was bleeding like a regular menstrual cycle. Also my cramps became more severe and I developed tremendous pain in my lower back. I have been bleeding for the past 6 weeks since I first noticed the spotting and my cramps have come back in full force. After reading some of the reviews on this website I feel a little better but I suppose my case is a rare and extreme reaction because I haven't seen anything too close in comparison.

My doctor prescribed this birth control to help ease the side effects of endometriosis. She leaned towards this one because Seasonique should mean less periods and less periods should mean less Endometriosis pain. This medication was a totally failed for me. I know different people have different reactions to medications but my experience was not a positive one. I bled off an on very frequently and cramped. I had very bad headaches at times (unusual for me). I was extremely emotional and moody (also unusual for me) and stayed bloated a good majority of the time. I was on it for 4 and a half months and could not take it any more. Also very pricey.

I have been taking Seasonique for about 2 months now. When I first took it I noticed some dizziness and headaches. I was going to get off of it as I didn't want to deal with that but decided to wait it out. Before the end of the first month that all stopped. I haven't had any breakthrough bleeding but I do get a little crampy when I got close to the end of the month, which I'm guessing will go away with time. I'm now on my last week of my second month and I have extreme breast tenderness. Not sure what that is all about but I am also going to hold it out and only hope it gets better. I have had endometriosis for 12 years now and they got rid of the birth control I was using before I had my kids. So I needed to try something new.

I have been taking this pill since April. I have two weeks to go before I should start my cycle. However, I have been bleeding everyday since my second week of taking this pill. I plan to stop after this Saturday; I am tired of bleeding for 3 months. I will try another method for my endometriosis.

I've been on this pill for about 3 or 4 years. Up until about 6 months ago, this pill was a blessing. I have been on everything else (Depo, a laundry list of other pills) and nothing worked as well as Seasonique. A few months ago I gained about 30 pounds out of no where and I lost about 20 pounds with a lot of hard work but no matter what I do, I can't get under 130. I have severe headaches and recently I've been bleeding through and not just spotting like full on period. On top of that I was cramping severely and having stomach problems. My husband and I just decided to quit the pill and see what happens and let me tell you I feel much better. I would say yes to this pill except for the side effects I started having.

I have a condition called endometrial hyperplasia. Basically, my uterus is thick, my uterine cells produce quickly and cause pain that feeds into my muscle cells during menstruation. I have had two children and constant pain during my cycles. My OB suggested Seasonique to get rid of my cycle and end my pain. After a while my abdominal pain is TOTALLY gone. I also have a much more stable mood. Once you get through one full cycle the spotting decreases and things level out. I suggest not stopping until you have tried it for at least 3-6 months.
