Has anyone been taking this and having lots of spotting? I've been on it 4wks and got all the symptoms that I was going to start a period, bloating, cravings etc and have been spotting for 10 days. Anyone had good or bad expiriences with this? I'm trying to decide if I'm going to stay on it. Thanks for all input.

Irregular bleeding is very common when starting Seasonale. It will usually disappear within the first 3 or 4 extended cycle packs of Seasonale. See: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=PubMed&list_uids=12954519&dopt=Abstract Most of the members posting here about Seasonale have reported bleeding. The only way you are going to be able to tell if Seasonale will be right for you is to hang in there.
Good luck

Also, schdj_sb1: I'm *so* glad to hear that panic is a normal side effect on these pills. I couldn't sleep at all last week because I felt anxious all the time, and then I spent the weekend fighting a big bout of depression. No fun! I'm so relieved that I'm not alone with these symptoms.
(for the record, my BF has been very supportive of this whole rollercoaster, as have my friends.)

If you are happy with your present pill why don't you try going back-to-back with the active pills using your present brand and see how that works for you? If it works well then you could have your doc. write your Rx for the additional packs you will need for a years supply. There is nothing special about Seasonale. It is the same formulation as the 21/7 regimen Nordette but in an 84/7 extended cycle pack. Let us know what you decide, ok?
Good luck
