Birth Control
"I took Seasonique for 2.5 years. I rated it as a 5 because it did it&#039;s job in that I did not get pregnant. However, I have switched to a monthly pill now (Cryselle 28) because the side effects from this medication were awful. I had migraines at least once a week, I bled for a month straight during my second pack, I had breakouts periodically that I didn&#039;t get before, my heart raced consistently (at least 3-4 times per week) and I gained 40 lbs in the past two years. I am a vegetarian and work out at least an hour a day so I know the weight gain was not due to my lifestyle. While I enjoyed having 4 periods per year once the medication caused me to stop bleeding, it was not worth the ensuing side effects."
