My PCP switched me to this bc because I was complaining of mood swings and low sex drive. It was great for the almost 4 months I was on it up until I developed blood clots in both of my lungs. I am not a smoker either. I'm not saying this is a bad BC I just want women to be aware it can happen to you even if you aren't a smoker. I have to be on blood thinners for 6 months to a year and off ... Show Full Comment

I have been taking tri sprintec for about 6 years now. It has been the only birth control I’m on and have needed. I take it to prevent pregnancy but it has also cleared my acne considerably as well as reduce my week long painful periods, to 3 day barely noticeable ones.

I had been taking trisprintec for a while and my skin was looking much better but the last refill I got left me wondering if I got a bad batch ??? I had constipation and diaherrea and overall felt stomach issues come on out of nowhere. Towards the end of my refill hormonal acne has all of a sudden come on with full force. Last time I went back for a refill I was told trisprintec was discontinued. ... Show Full Comment

I was switched to Tri Sprintec after being told exactly same as Tri Nessa (which I had been on almost 30 years) I never had issues prior. I do notice headaches with this pill and weight gain. (Almost 15 pounds in year) I exercise twice a day and eat healthy.

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.
