severe prolonged bleeding on seasonale

I've been on seasonale for about 11 weeks now and I've been bleeding for 7 to 8 weeks. This is my first pack of pills. I keep saying to myself this is supposed to cut my period with exception of some breakthru bleeding. I was better off with my normal 3 1/2 lenght 24 to 26 day cycle as opposed to this horrid 7 to 8 weeks of flow. One day its dark brown and dosent smell plesant, then at night I can go to bed and wake up with an extremely clean and dry pad. Is this normal or would it be wise to stop as I seee no other females speaking of a prolonged period for 2 streight months?

I was on Seasonale for over a year, and only started bleeding into my second pack. After that point, it was constantly starting and stopping every day or other day. This went on for several months. Even after ultrasounds and tests, mydoctor had few answers for me... Then to make matters worse, I started lactating. I wasn't pregnant, but the blood test they took said my prolactin levels were that of a normal pregnant woman. ??? After that I stopped taking pills all together, as I am married, we chose more natural, unsynthetic methods of birth control. That was one year ago in July. I stopped bleeding daily in December, but have not had a normal period since. I still lactate occasionally before my period, though, even now. I was told about medication that I could maybe take to dry it up, but would need a costly MRI first (of my pituitary gland), and my insurance will not cover it... So for now, I quite regret my decision to take seasonale, as it seems to me to continue to cause problems after a year of being off them!
