User Reviews for LoSeasonique oral

I am on my 9th week of this birth control. I have experienced no breakthrough bleeding which is good because my periods were pretty bad. However, I have experienced dizziness/lightheaded, a rash of whitish pimples on my chest and forearm that I have never had and an increase in my eating habits. Is this common or will these side effects go away?

I HAVE BEEN TAKING THIS MEDICATION FOR ABOUT 3 1/2 WEEKS AND HAVE EXPERIENCED SEVERAL SIDE EFFECTS INCLUDING WATER RETENTION, DAILY HEADACHES, EXTREMELY LOW ENERGY,FEELING LIKE I HAVE TO THROW UP,ACNE,AND WEIGHT GAIN. I'M VERY TEMPTED TO STOP TAKING THIS PILL BUT I PLAN TO TAKE IT A FEW MORE WEEKS TO SEE IF THE SYMPTOMS GO AWAY. I HAVE ALSO CONSUTLED MY DOCTOR AND WAS TOLD TO CONTINUE TAKING THEM FOR AT LEAST THE 1ST 3 MONTHS AND WAS ALSO TOLD THAT SINCE THIS IS A LOWER DOSAGE THAN REGULAR BIRTHCONTROL THAT THE SIDEEFFECTS COULD BE GREATER ON A HIGHER DOSAGE.ANY FEED BACK IS GREATLY APPRECIATED.

i'm on my week 12and i have been bleeding for almost four weeks and i might have to have a surgery to hopefully stoop it for good. I think this medication is a bunch of bull and should not be taken at all.

I have been on LoSeasonique for 3 whole weeks now. I have been bleeding heavily for 7 days now. I have consistently taken the pill at 7pm every night and plan to call my doctor tomorrow morning for advice. I'm definitely planning to stop taking the medication and will begin researching other OC's.

I was only one Loseasonique for 3 months. I had some breakthrough bleeding also I had acne like I was in high school again. Not only that but I gained 10 lbs in 3 months! I quit taking it and now am on Nuvaring wish me luck!

I am in the 7th week of taking this pill. i have been bleeding for 24 days straight. My doctor prescribed estradiol 2mg for 10 days to stop the bleeding. He said to continue the birth control while taking this. Its been 12 days since starting the estrogen It has slowed down but the bleeding has not stopped. Is there any advice for me while I await my next appt?

I am through my first month of taking this birth control and I have not experienced any sort of break through bleeding, mood swings, acne or weight gain. The only complaint I would have is my breasts are slightly sore, but nothing horrible. So far its a great birth control! I am 24 years old and I suffer from severe periods with extremely bad cramps and now I only have to worry about having a period 4 times a year, not every month. My husband is glad to see me not having that pain every month and so am I. I would recommend this birth control!Read More Read Less

After 3 weeks on Loseasonique, I have developed extremely high blood pressure, gallstones, and a kidney problem. I didn't have any of these problems before. I am not happy. This is a dangerous drug.

So far on the ninth week on the pill, I've had two periods of spotting for a couple of days and one prolonged period (1-week) of bleeding, which wasn't as heavy as my regular period, but was definitely longer. My main concern though is that my appetite has become virtually uncontrollable and I've already gained quite a few pounds. I am just constantly feeling hungry, which is disconcerting. Moreover, I've been experiencing constant fatigue, daily headaches and frequent nausea, and started feeling increasingly depressed. Seems like most of the forewarned side effects have manifested in my reaction to the drug. And a couple of days ago I started getting these scary anxiety/hyperventilation attacks... Has anyone else experienced the same effects? Now, I also have family history of breast+ovarian cancer, strokes, and high blood pressure. My dr. is aware of this but still said that the pill shouldn't increase these risks in me. However, I'm growing more and more skeptical given that I've been showing the other side effects already. Any thoughts/advice would be highly appreciated. I'm torn whether to stop taking the pill altogether or are the risks and side effects not so great and will dissipate with time?! Thanks a lot!

ive been taking this pill for about 5 weeks now and ive had been bleeding bad for about 3 of those weeks is that bad is it suppose to happen ? can someone help me im really scared and i have had most of the side effect and my doctor is out of town ..

I LOVE this pill. It is great for women over 35 who need a low dose. And, since it is a low dose, it doesn't cause yeast infections like OrthoTriCyclen does. I haven't had any spotting or bleeding. I think the secret to that is to take it the same time every night and not miss any pills. I take it right before I go to bed the same time every night and I haven't missed one pill. I used to have horrible heavy periods that lasted TWO weeks! Well, NOT ANY MORE. YEAH.

alot of break through bleeding on week 2 of the pills.

I've only been taking LoSeasonique for about two months. The first month went great. I didn't have any spotting or anything. However, about the time the second month rolled around and I would have normally started my period, I started spotting. And. it. has. not. stopped! I've been spotting for about a month (it has been very very light, so it's not EXTREMELY bothersome). My sister also had the same experience, and one other person I read about has as well. I'm going to hold out for about another pack and see if it gets better, otherwise I'll probably end up switching.Read More Read Less
