My main issue with the drug is mood effects. I've had so many friends and family comment on my anger, impatience and frustration over the past 6 weeks. They (and I) have noticed a significant change ... Show Full Comment

Though I have not experienced alot of headaches, I did have 1 migraine (mild, thankfully) for about a day and a half. I have used Seaonique for several years without and problems. I have had almost daily spotting/bleeding off and on the last 6 weeks of my packet, I will not be using it again!
