"This drug did not work for me as I am unable to take any hormones. I managed to take it for 8 weeks before stopping. I started getting a period after about week 6, and it continued on and off right up until I stopped taking the drug. When I started getting my period, I still had the same symptoms (severe cramping, back pain, exhaustion, etc.) that I started taking the drug for to begin with."

"I have very bad endometriosis, so my doctor put me on Seasonale six months ago. I was bleeding nonstop before I started, and for the whole 6 months, I continued to still bleed. My mental health took the biggest hit, though. I couldn’t force myself to clean my house, my dishes were molding. I couldn’t force myself to shower for weeks or brush my teeth. I couldn’t figure out what happened to me and how I declined so fast. My husband works away and noticed even through FaceTiming I was a shell of myself. I didn’t even think that a birth control could do that to me until finally I was sharing everything with my mom, and she mentioned how it all started once I changed birth controls, then it all clicked for me. Immediately that week, I went to my doctor and asked to be taken off it and put on a new one. I have been on the new one for two weeks, and the change is already night and day! I wish I did it sooner. If you are already having mental health issues, STAY AWAY FROM THIS ONE, PLEASE."

"I have been taking this for almost 2 years, and I can tell you I feel like it has been a miracle drug with all the side effects of endometriosis. Although you have to take a pill each night, who cares when you have 1 period to get through over 3 months, and on top of that, it's short and usually pain-free. The excess bleeding, the long periods, unpredictable start and stop...that's all over with this birth control. I really feel like I gained at least 2 days out of every month that I had once lost to bed rest from the agony of endometriosis. I love it and wish I had heard of it sooner. I highly recommend it. Be sure to always ask how it will interact with any other drugs that may be in your system. Always consult a doctor on change in medication."
