User Reviews for Ortho Tri-Cyclen (28) oral

I've been taking this med for a while now and have had no problems. The only issue I have which is probably normal are the mood swings and feeling tired about a week before my cycle. Good birth control though.

I have been taking this for three months now. I have gained weight since switching to ortho-tricylcen and my periods have been horrible! I have terrible headaches, cramps and extremely heavy periods now. I forgot to take my pill one night and less than twelve hours later, I was having a full-blown period - not just a little spotting. I gave it three months like the doctor told me to, but now I'm off to try something different.

Great overall, no side effects.

i have used this BC Ffor 12 years and for the past 2 years my cycle has gotten later and lighter, my doctor has put me on Necon generic) 1/35 28's, he thinks i need a higher estrogen level BC. Has anyone had this happen to them?

Ortho Tri-Cyclen (28)has worked well for me. However I will switch to a Generic drug this coming month. My physician said not to worry, and not to expect changes. Any expierences with this? Love insurance companies!

I have been using this bc for about a year and a half. I have breast enlargement, and tenderness, a mood swings. I like this medication over all, it has been effective, helps with skin, and is easy to take.

This is the only medication that does not make me gain weight.

This medication made me feel, REALLY uncomfotable! Very irratice bleeding, headachs, body aches, nausea, there 'break through' bleeding was worse than any period i've had and its lasted over 10 days!! Took much for me! Especialy when i just got done having my period! Wouldn't ever wanna take it again! Switching to Yaz!

I switched from the patch about a year ago when they had the scare about that. I took OTC for about a year an just recently tried Generic for this cycle. I have had horrible side effects from it. I started biting my tounge in my sleep terribly and I feel a general malaise I have never felt before on any type of BControl. I will not continue on the generic version of this medicine. I will go back to OTC. In general, I have experienced breast tenderness, increased sex drive, breast growth, mood changes, hair loss.....all in all, my Generic experience has not been good......!

After six years of using this bc I have not become pregnant, it keeps my skin very clear, sometimes I forget to take it though!After so many years, it seems my hormones have changed and I've had spotting in the middle of the month.

This medicine worked very well in preventing pregnancy, clearing up my skin, and easing horrible cramps. The only thing I didn't like was remembering to take it at the same time each day.
