I am not sure if anyone else started to feel numb and a tingly feeling throughout their whole body I just started taking this pill yesterday and I am just now coming off my depo shot so I’m also not sure if that’s a side effect problem as well can someone please give me an answer ??

I am in my second set of this birth control and I am feeling the side effects of my body getting used to the pill. I used to take ortho tricyclen awhile back but I am having bloating, irregular spotting, and brest tenderness. I hope this dissipates.

I don't like the packaging I miss when it was round that made it so much easier but by it being rectangular I accidentally keep taking the wrong week of pills

The birth control itself is extremely effective, however it has caused me to get cystic acne which I have never dealt with in my life until now. The first month wasn't too bad as all I had was more frequent mood swings but as I have just finished my second pack my acne has increasingly gotten worse. I know it would take at least 4-6 months for my skin to become more clear as my body is still a ... Show Full Comment

The first month wasn't too bad as all I had was more frequent mood swings but as I have just finished my second pack my acne has increasingly gotten worse. I know it would take at least 4-6 months for my skin to become more clear as my body is still adjusting. However, my acne has only gotten worse destroying my confidence. I am currently on the placebo week of the 2nd pack deciding if I want to continue or find a new birth control

I took Trinessa for about 10 years and never had any side effects that I noticed. It got discontinued on 10/2018 at Walgreen's pharmacy. They gave me the generic they said "Tri Sprintec" I was a bit nervous switching, but they assured me it was the same no difference. After about 2 weeks of taking it I felt a little irritable.

I took Trinessa for about 10 years and never had any side effects that I noticed. It got discontinued on 10/2018 at Walgreen's pharmacy. They gave me the generic they said "Tri Sprintec" I was a bit nervous switching, but they assured me it was the same no difference. After about 2 weeks of taking it I felt a little irritable. My Mother and sister both told me I was having big mood swings. This went away after 2 months. Since October of 2018 I have put on about 15-20 pounds. In the last year I have been eating less and activity level is the same. My bra size also went up 2 cup sizes. My stomach and breast area is always very swollen feeling. I'm not sure if it has to do with this birth control. I'm hoping because there is no reason that would explain all of this. I had read other reviews similar, I wish I would have thought about this sooner even though they say you shouldn't gain weight. We will see I'm stopping it immediately! I really hope I start losing weight and bloating! =(
