2 to 3 pad changes an hour is not normal, and you should consult your doctor. The FDA lists the normal side effects as possibly including irregular bleeding, dizziness, headache, vaginal dryness, mood changes, and weight changes. NDC code: 0555-9016

How long have you been taking it, now? Are on any other medications?

As to the pad changes, are they full when you change them?
