I switched to Tri-Previfem when Ortho Trycline got to expensive...the switch was nice and easy and I was as effective. I do suffer from back pain during my period which this pill isnt to good for; however, it works wonders with cramping and bloating. I have been on Tri-Previfem for almost 4 years now and I am very content with it.

Worst packaging EVER. What is with those little cardboard cut-outs that fall everywhere when you pop a pill out??? They are all over my purse, house, and car. I repeat- WORST PACKAGING EVER!

Weight gain, breast tenderness, constant nausea, numerous headaches, and many bladder infections. I was on Microgestin before and had NO problems with it.

I have been on this for over a month(2nd pack started) and it seems to be working well. I was on Aviane-28 and was a hormonal mess. The only side effect I am really noticing is bloating. My overall mood seems better and I didn't have the major mood swings like I had before.

I have been on this BC pill for 2 months. CVS switched it claiming that their supplier was now giving this generic form. depressive thoughts, lower sex drive, darkening of my face skin, neon yellow urine, oh and a trip to the ER for difficulty breathing. it's weird all these comments are popping up around the same time. DO NOT TAKE THIS PILL. I'm going to the doctor friday to ensure no permanent damage has been done to my heretofor very healthy body. If not I will be contacting someone's legal department.Read More Read Less

Medco switched me to this birth control and ever since I've been having spot bleeding and stomach cramps and back pains and I'm not even on my period. I'm very dissatisfied with this birth control and will not continue taking it due to the side effects.

I have been taking this medication for one month now...Medco switched this med on their own..for the past 3 weeks I have been having on and off nausea, feeling like my sugar has been dropping and weak..I just put two and two together that it has all been happening since I started this med. I was absolutely fine with the other generic I was taking, and why they swithched my pill is beyond me. I will not continue taking this pill for I have not felt good since taking it.

I think it's effectiveness may be based on personal body type. I did not experience weight gain, did experience a little bit more acne than usual, but it's hard to tell if it's the pill or my stressed life. It absolutely did wonders for my cramps, bloating and fatigue.

I'm spotting and it's my week to have my period. It makes me super paranoid that I might be pregnant. Although we always use condoms too. But still, it's annoying.

I switched to this because it was less expensive than Ortho. I was only on it for one month, but that was long enough. I had alot of new acne pop up and felt all of the pains associated with having my period. I did not like this medication and decided to switch back to Ortho.

I have experienced weight gain, acne has shown up, nausea, stomach pain. Mood swings, and a huge defference in sex drive! I also developed a rash down south, unsure if it is related to the pill but have never had it before. I was accidently switched to this pill after previously having great results with a different generic. I have been on this pill for 2 months now and I am extremely dissatisfied with the results. I have not gotten pregnant, but have felt symptoms of pregnancy. I am used to taking the pill and not noticing anything unusual... this pill definately has symptoms, and unfavorable ones in my case.Read More Read Less
