Ladies, DO NOT TAKE AMETHIA. I HAVE HAD MY PERIOD FOR OVER A MONTH. Just fork over the extra cash for Seasonique, it is absolutely worth it. From the mood swings, nausea, cramps, crying, and dizziness, to the Constant need to buy tampons, Amethia is BY FAR THE WORST BIRTH CONTROL I have ever had the pleasure of dealing with.

I have been on bc pills for over 20 years with no issues. I have taken jolessa(generic) for several years and would have some break thru spotting that wasn't a big deal but changed pharmacies this year and was given Amethia. The first few weeks were ok but the 4th week i started full blown bleeding! It was very heavy and clotty. 6 days later i am still bleeding that heavy with terrible cramps! ... Show Full Comment

The first few weeks were ok but the 4th week i started full blown bleeding! It was very heavy and clotty. 6 days later i am still bleeding that heavy with terrible cramps! I have never bled like this nor had severe cramps before. I was very worried there was something wrong even though i was just checked all out a month ago. Thank you ladies for sharing your experience so i can relax and get my pharmacy to give me the real seasonique or the jolessa again! I would not recommnd this bc.

This has been a nightmare. If I miss ONE pill I get my period for 2 weeks. I was on Camrese before and loved it, my pharmacy switched me to this and I'm calling the doctor first thing to switch back. This 2 week period has happened twice in the 4 months I've taken it. Horrible. Do not waste your time with this useless generic.

I hate Amethia!!! The first month taking this pill was fine. Since starting the second pack, my mood has been all over the place. I have also been bleeding heavily for the past 2 weeks with severe cramps. The cramps are so severe that I cannot walk when it happens. I constantly wake up in the middle of the night with excruciating pain in my lower abdomen. I am going to stop taking this drug immedi ... Show Full Comment

I have also been bleeding heavily for the past 2 weeks with severe cramps. The cramps are so severe that I cannot walk when it happens. I constantly wake up in the middle of the night with excruciating pain in my lower abdomen. I am going to stop taking this drug immediately mainly because of the severe cramps.
