It prevents me from getting pregnant which is my main concern to begin with. Been a month on it and waiting to see if I spot or not between these 3 months. Another main reason I decided to take Amethia is because with my IBS, my mestrual cramps are 10xs worse so not getting my period or even having a light period is fine with me. Overall, it does the job of keeping me from worrying every month ??

I was on seasonique for two years, then camrese for 2 years. Just two weeks ago my pharmacy decided to give me amethia. I was wondering if I was going crazy, but thank you for al th we reviews. I've only been taking it for two weeks, so I have not had any spotting.

I've only been taking it for two weeks, so I have not had any spotting. However, I have had significant weight gain, shaky hands, horrible migraines in the morning, and fatigue that makes me want to nap. If you are currently taking camrese or seasonique please don't switch to this. I've spoken to my doctor and will be switching back to camrese.

I've recently switched from Trinessa (taken for 18 years) to Amethia (taken for 6 months). Pros: Effective in preventing pregnancy, normal periods lasted 4-5 days once every 3 months. Cons: Severe moodiness and impatience in first 1 1/2 months which turned to moderate depression for remaining months and overall general unhappiness.

I've recently switched from Trinessa (taken for 18 years) to Amethia (taken for 6 months). Pros: Effective in preventing pregnancy, normal periods lasted 4-5 days once every 3 months. Cons: Severe moodiness and impatience in first 1 1/2 months which turned to moderate depression for remaining months and overall general unhappiness. Increased appetite which led to increase weight gain in the belly (5-7 lbs in 6 months). Extreme bloating in belly area in the 2nd & 3rd month in each cycle. Mild monthly cramping during times when period normally comes. Bone & muscle pain - mostly in knees & legs & teeth. Cost of medication was significantly high (based on my insurance coverage) End Result: I switched back to Trinessa mostly due to Amethia's effect on my mood (general unhappiness) and weight gain.

Loved the idea of having a period every 12 weeks...however it's somewhat stressful waiting 12 weeks to have a period! I live an active lifestyle and have gained 12 lbs in 3.5 months and I have had severe cystic acne along my chin and jawline since I started the medication. I'm strict about washing my face at night and following a skincare regimen. This BC has ruined my skin, caused weight ... Show Full Comment

I have been using this prescription for 7 months. I loved the idea of having a cycle every 3 months. It does give me slight acne problems, however, it seems to be getting better this past few months. I also notice an increase in my appetite. Fortunately for me this is okay since I also take Topiramate for migraines and it decreases my appetite (tremendously). So the two have finally balanced ...

I also notice an increase in my appetite. Fortunately for me this is okay since I also take Topiramate for migraines and it decreases my appetite (tremendously). So the two have finally balanced out my appetite and I am back at a normal weight!
