"I do think it&#039;s important to note that Jolessa is NOT Seasonique. Jolessa is the generic form of SEASONALE and NO, they are not the same! Seasonale&#039;s last week is comprised of placebo, &quot;sugar&quot;, pills. Have been on Jolessa for 4 years and LOVE it! No acne, no weight gain and no spotting! Been on birth control in general for about 7 years now. Wouldn&#039;t be on anything else!"
