My pharmacy switched me from Trivora to Enpresse because it was cheaper. I now have an uncontrollable appetite, cramps all month long, bouts of depression a day or two at a time, and my headaches have increased. All my period symptoms are amplified; cramps, bloating, swollen breasts, moodiness. I rarely had any symptoms at all with Trivora.

I took Triphasil for years happily but was switched to Empresse, the generic brand, several years ago. I went off this drug last month. I had the nausea, throwing up, bloating, breast pain, and severe headaches (probably migraines but never got it diagnosed) for the past several years at the same time every month which lasted one to two weeks depending on the side effect.

I had the nausea, throwing up, bloating, breast pain, and severe headaches (probably migraines but never got it diagnosed) for the past several years at the same time every month which lasted one to two weeks depending on the side effect. The doctor said my hormones were changing because of my age and some of these symptoms were normal for those entering their forties. Now I know that these horrible side effects were caused by Empresse. All of these side effects stopped last month when I stopped taking this drug.

I received Enpresse in place of my usual Trivora. The Pharmacist says "it's the same thing". WEll...it's not. I'm only on my 2nd week. I can't stop eating, I've gained 3lbs, my boobs are swollen, stomach bloated, moody-more than the norm, and break through bleeding. I'm not taking it anymore. I'm getting Trivora back. This substitution B-S should be illegal!!!!

Just started taking this pill for about 3 days and have been getting headaches that feel like migranes. Feeling light headed and wanting to vomit. I've never had side effects with the bc pill but with this one i have.

I had also been on Trivora and received Enpresse when I went to get my refill. This is my first month taking it and I have experienced a significant increase in appetite as well as extreme moodiness! I am in the process of trying to get a new prescription from my doctor
