"i was on seasonique for 2 years. seasonique started out as an okay form of birth control. it took my body a while to get used to it (probably about 2 packs, so 6 months). when i did get used to it, it was great. but then the problems started. i&#039;ve never had acne or even bad pimples and my face started to really break out. also, i don&#039;t know if my body got immune to the birth contrl but after a while, my heavy periods came back as well as the cramps. 
also if i ever forgot to take my pill and had to double up, i would get really sick. overall, it started out great, but the effects were not long term. i&#039;ve gained 15 pounds and my libido is very low and i&#039;m very dry when having intercourse. also, as mentioned earlier, it gave me very bad acne."
