User Reviews for TriNessa (28) oral

I have been on this medication for about a week. In that time I've had constant nausea, mood swings, no appetite and I'm constantly tire. I was on ortho tri cyclen lo before this and had no side effects at all, I switched to Trinessa because of my insurance. I'm am going to continue to take it to see if my body adjusts to the bc but at this time I am miserable on it.

I was taking yaz but my periods got heavy so I switched to this. Ive only been taking it for 2 weeks and Im losing some hair and I have red bumps on my scalp....Is this normal?

I took this as an alternative to Ortho Tri Cyclen and the cost associated with. The price was the only good thing about this. I HATED this pill. I've been on a few different brands in my day and this was the absolute worst. I was constantly moody, emotional and just felt crappy like I was depressed all the time. I hated it. As soon as I quit taking it and it was out of my system, I felt 500 times better. I do not recommend this to anyone.

I've never been on birth control before and after this I don't think I want to be. The side effects for this drug are aweful! I've never had acne until taking trinessa. My breasts have increased at least a cup size and are constantly tender (I found it interesting that the size went down the one week I wasn't taking the pill. The worst part is I am constantly depressed, weepy and generally irritable. This birth control isn't worth the side effects they cause.

I'm on my third pack, and I love it! Before taking birth control, I would have such bad cramps from my period that I would throw up every month. My face would also break out from the hormonal acne. When I first started taking this pill my face, back and chest did break out badly, since my body was getting used to the pill. Now everything has cleared up though!!! I still get dull cramps, but nothing like before. I think my body is still just getting used to the hormone.

Just started taking this pill. I have noticed bizarre cramps that ARE really painful and light headaches that have the potential to be bad, but my body still has to get used to it, plus I took it on day 1 start of my period so its possibly just my period causing the issues. I think people are hypocondriacs seriously. yours minds play tricks on you after reading the "side effect" insert. So whiney. I could never be as fat as I was when pregnant, so who cares! LOL.

It works perfectly. I've been on it for two months so far. The only thing that would be wrong with it is that my acne got worse and the vaginal discharge is crazy. Plus I get vaginal odor too. But besides this, I haven't had any of the crazy reactions (mood swings, weight gain, etc.) that everyone else has. If anything I've lost some weight. I'm sticking with it for now, just because it is the cheapest.

Trinessa has turned my life into a complete horror show. I have been taking OrthoTriCyclen for 15 years with NO problems whatsoever. None. Recently, my insurance sent me this generic from my mail order pharmacy. No big deal- I have taken several different generic versions of this over the years with no side effects at all. It took me several months to realize it was my birth control, as it didn't even cross my mind, but this medicine has caused the worst migraines. I am actually out of work on medical leave as a result, as I was falling and disoriented at work. I literally had migraines every day for 2 months. My period was early, up to 6 days. You used to be able to set your watch my my cycle. I have been living a nightmare for the past several months. If you are experiencing migraines and have recently switched to Trinessa, talk to your doc- it gets worse FAST. Read More Read Less

This birth control works great! I was taking Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo but generics are cheaper on my plan so Dr. switched me to this. I didn't experience any of the horror-story side effects I keep hearing about with this drug-in fact, my periods are much shorter with this (by 2 days!!) and the cute pastel yellow compact doesn't hurt either. It's basically the same as ortho tri cylclen lo for me, and I had no complaint then.

I have been satified with this drug for the simple fact that it is keeping me from becoming pregnant, but I have been having some serious side effects. Anxiety attacks, heart issues, and I am so moody. I am going to stop taking this drug asap! I have been on it for a year and the symptoms didn't start showing up until 9 months after starting it. I am just up and down with my emotions all the time. This cannot be good for you. I will just find a safer way to prevent pregnancy.

I had been on Ortho-Tricyclen for almost ten years before I switched to this about a year and a half ago. Trinessa is just as effective and I don't have any side effects. My cycle was kinda weird when I made the transition but after a month, it was fine again. I would highly recommend this, plus it is much cheaper at the pharmacy.

I'm relieved that other people are having the same effects I have been: depression and mood swings. I thought maybe it was me but I feel much better now that it could be the pill. Also I have alot of discharge, all the time which is really wierd.

Trinessa has caused me so much grief. It did help regulate my period, but I have had so many crazy side effects it isn't worth it. Some of these side effects include rapid heart rate, depression, loss of sex drive, anxiety, bloating, and loss of sleep.

I started this a week ago today for not having my period in 6 mos. I've never had trouble with birth control until I've started taking this. Within this week, I have had increased cramping, severe abdominal pain, headaches, tiredness, depression (to the point I can barely function or want to be around my family and friends), and horrible nausea throughout the day. I'm sticking with it just to see if I will get my period but it is a complete nightmare.

i have been on Trinessa (generic for Ortho Tri-cyclen) for about 3 years now. at first it worked great...but this past year i have been noticing that i throughout the month i have been depressed and weepy, sad all the time. then about a week before my period i get really short and cranky, along with the sadness and crying. my fiance thought i was crazy! i ended up looking online and found that Trinessa is a higher dose estrogen pill compared to one like Yaz. i believe what i read was that Trinessa is 35 mcg's of estrogen while Yaz is 25 or 30 mcg's. i don't remember exactly, but it is definitely lower. Lower estrogen dose = not so crazy! so i have switched to Yaz. it is a lot more expensive than Trinessa, but i hope that it takes these crazy moods away!Read More Read Less

I've been very moody and weepy and depressed since starting this pill 2 weeks ago. Also very lethargic. I've been on other birth control pills without any problems before, so I think I need to switch.

I have been using TriNessa for almost 5 years now and it has worked great. It helped to stop my acne and the only weight I gained was in my breasts and it wasn't a huge difference. It completely regulated my period is starts on tues. night or wed. morning and is done by sunday which is great.

I have been 0n Trinessa for over 3 years had absolutly no side effects. It worked for me. Due to severe hair loss (which is not proved to be from the pill but eliminated factors) I recently went off it and put on yaz, which seems to be working fine.

I will be going in to my seventh month of using this drug one week from today. Overall, I've been pretty satisfied- its done its job and is easy to use. My only complaint is that i get severe menstrual cramps whenever i start the last week of the pack. Aside from that i have none of the other side effects.
