| | Seasonique review by 20 year old female patient | | | Rating |
| Overall rating: | | |
| Effectiveness: | | Highly Effective |
| Side effects: | | Moderate Side Effects | | |
Treatment Info |
| Condition / reason: | | Birth control |
| Dosage & duration: | | Standard (dosage frequency: one pill every day) for the period of 1 year |
| Other conditions: | | None |
| Other drugs taken: | | None | | |
Reported Results |
| Benefits: | | Very effective at preventing pregnancy. Also regulated menstrual cycle length and helped relieve acne. The best part is that you only menstruate 4 times a year, as opposed to 12 or 13. |
| Side effects: | | During the first two months or so that I was on Seasonique, I experienced rather severe depression and uncontrollable mood swings. I also had issues with breast swelling and tenderness. I spoke with my doctor and he advised me that such side effects, although very uncommon, almost always wore off after the first few months. I decided to stick it out and sure enough, they wore off as my body grew accustomed to the medication. |
| Comments: | | You take one pill every day, preferably at around the same time. |
