So glad I read these reviews... same thing happened to me. Pharmacy switched my generic to Enpresse without telling me. When I questioned the change, I was told it was the same thing as Trivora.

Never made the connection that the medication switch was to blame. Just got switched to a different birth control again - Lutera. We'll see how it goes...

My pharmacy is out of Trivora. I have been taking Trivora for over 10 years without any issues or side effects. Since switching to Enpresse two months ago I have had some of the listed side effects...acne on areas of my body which I have never had before, extreme dry skin on face, cramping after menstrual cycle, daily spotting/bleeding a week + after cycle, along with an extended length of cycle. ...

I am convinced that it is not the same exact drug as Trivora, as I was told by the pharmacy.

I only took this pill for 2 weeks but I hated it. I was so emotional and it made me so hungry all the time. But it did help with my cramps and my periods were lighter but longer.

Well, I haven't gotten pregnant, so I suppose it's worked at that. But, I have been dissatisfied other than that. I've been on Trivora for years but moved and switched pharmacies. Rite Aid filled Trivora as Enpresse without asking or telling me. That happened right after I needed an annual renewal, when m doctor then wrote not to use a generic and they did it again, again not telling me. They clai ... Show Full Comment

Rite Aid filled Trivora as Enpresse without asking or telling me. That happened right after I needed an annual renewal, when m doctor then wrote not to use a generic and they did it again, again not telling me. They claim Trivora is no longer manufactured. I haven't figured out if that's true or not yet. Anyone know? My symptoms haven't been as severe as others, but I either have spotting or a period starting a couple days earlier than usual and very lightly. I generally feel worse during periods on Enpresse, with irritability, fatigue, and increased sensitivity to sound, etc, that I didn't otherwise have. I've also had mild weight gain (a couple pounds after being the same weight for over 5 years). I had no problems with Trivora and was very pleased with it and was very satisfied.

ENPRESSE WAS HORRIBLE!! I had been taking Trivora for years without ANY issues. Then my pharmacist gave me Enpresse without any consultation, only a sticker noting that this was the same drug. FAR FROM IT!!! Within 2 weeks my life changed as I woke up one morning thinking I had a stroke. Numbness, slurred speech, confusion, horrible mood swings, so much irritability, swelling, weight gain, cramping, dizziness, MIGRAINES...the list goes on - almost every side effect experienced. I have never been through something so scary! MRI, Ultrasound, blood tests, pregnancy tests, several specialist visits all to determine what was wrong with me. I could not work, and barely take care of my kids because I did not have control. I switched back to Trivora the next day after the "stroke" happened and after almost 2 months, can finally say I feel better. DO NOT FIND OUT THE LIFE-CHANGING WAY THAT I DID THAT ENPRESSE HAS HORRIBLE SIDE EFFECTS AND IS NOT A REPLACEMENT FOR TRIVORA!!
