The worst decision I ever made was taking this bc. I took trinessa for 8 years and never once had an issue. Unfortunately trinessa is discontinued and I had to be switched to trisprintec. The first month i was alright but 3 out of the 4 months I took it were a nightmare. I became a different person. I cried everyday for no reason. My anxiety was worse than ever and I started having crazy thoughts. ... Show Full Comment

The first month i was alright but 3 out of the 4 months I took it were a nightmare. I became a different person. I cried everyday for no reason. My anxiety was worse than ever and I started having crazy thoughts. My acne is so bad right now. Worse than I ever had as a teen. I started getting a pain in my right breast and that was my last straw. I quit tri sprintec 3 weeks ago and I can't believe how much better I feel already. I still have horrible acne but I'm hoping it will get better after so long of not taking this bc. The pharmacy told me trinessa and tri sprintec are the exact same bc and that's a complete lie. I feel like I missed 4 months of my life because I was in such a depressed fog. Now I'm so much happier.

The worst birth control I’ve ever been on (and I’ve tried four different pills). They discontinued Trinessa (the best BC) and I was given tri sprintec as a replacement. My face broke out SO much, I gave it three months to clear up and it’s progressively gotten worse: I’ve gained weight as well. I talked to my doctor about this, and the inactive ingredients are different from trinessa (hormones are ... Show Full Comment

I talked to my doctor about this, and the inactive ingredients are different from trinessa (hormones are the same). Would not recommend at all. I’m going back on the generic version which I didn’t have a reaction to.

This birth control does what it needs to which is fine. But the side effects really hit me. I had flu like symptoms the first couple days. I am on day 8 right now and have no?t had the stomach to eat anything in 3 days. I am ALWAYS nauseous. My sex drive is not the same. And the moodiness has suck in, but I am assuming it is from being sick and lack of wanting/having sex. I understand my body migh ... Show Full Comment

I understand my body might have to get used to being on BC again, but overall that has been my experience. It could get better but unfortunately I am not waiting around to find out so I am trying to switch now

I'm just finishing with my third pack on this. It's my first time using pill form birth control so I can't compare to others. So far it's been easy to use and no I'll side effects.

I'm just finishing with my third pack on this. It's my first time using pill form birth control so I can't compare to others. So far it's been easy to use and no I'll side effects. I was worried about nausea and decreased libido, but none of that happened. I did notice my mood swings are a little more erractic around my period, but it's something I caught on to and can manage. The only real disappointing thing about it is that I was hoping it would help more with breakouts. I think it helped some, but I still breakout terribly on my back around my period. I really wished the pill would have helped with that. Overall, it's fine. I'm going to stay on another 3 months and see if it improves.

I did gain 7 pounds in the first three months of taking the pill, but it all naturally went away over 10 months (I’m sure it would be faster if you ate healthy and exercised), and my skin was HORRIBLE for three months. After almost a year on it, I have no side effects at all, and I have yet to get pregnant, even when I’ve been a little risky with it. Take it as directed, and stuck with it, and I p ...

Take it as directed, and stuck with it, and I promise you’ll be happy.
