User Reviews for Tri-Previfem (28) oral

I have been taking this pill for about 2 years. I switched to this after my old brand (forget the name) caused me to break out. Tri-Previfem cleared my acne, didn't gain any weight from it, no headaches, nausea, or mood swings. Anyone saying this pill caused them to feel down in the dumps was probably how you were feeling in the first place!

I was prescribed this birth control because I usually have painful periods. I've only been on it for a week now and I have gained 5 pounds but my diet has not been any different. I have noticed my body is retaining a lot of water. Did this happen to anyone else? How long does it last?

I switched from Enskyce to this due to light break through bleeding. I am on week two and I have never bled to bad in my life. I have been bleeding since day 1. Its miserable. I will be stopping this birth control today and going back to my old one.

This is my first time taking birth control, and I have been taking this one for a little over two months and it has done wonders. My period is becoming regular and I am barley bleeding which is definitely a plus. I have not gained any weight while on it but my breasts are larger (not really a bad thing). It has actually made my mood a little better than usual, usually I am an emotional wreck but this pill is regulating my moods. All in all, I would recommend Tri-Previfem to anyone. I am very impressed.Read More Read Less

This is my first time taking birth control and at first two weeks everything was all good by the third week I started spotting and haven't spotted since so for almost 2 weeks Ive been spotting and I don't know if its normal or not but ima find out but other than that it's easy to take and my acne has clear up there isn't really I change in weight so that's good but I'm not really like the spotting everyday thing

I started this pill a little over six months ago for the purpose of treating my moderate acne. This was the first and only brand I have ever tried. My acne is usually mostly clear to completely clear during the first three weeks. During the sugar pill week, my skin breaks out a bit, but that may be stress-related since I am a full-time college student working two jobs. I have become sexually active within the past few months and I have not become pregnant, though my partner and I always use a condom as well. This pill has not given me any nasty side effects whatsoever! VERY, VERY happy! Read lots of negative side effects from other people, but I have NOT had mood swings, cramping, etc. Definitely recommend, but keep in mind that everyone is different. Read More Read Less

My skin has cleared up, no weight gain and my mood has been normal. Missed one day of the pill and got my period, plus headaches right before getting my period are normal. I think when taken at the exact same time everyday, there's fewer side effects.

I began taking this pill in the hopes that it would improve my stubborn, adult acne. It didn't. Instead, my acne got much worse; I went from very superficial acne to deep, pustule-type acne. Yuck. In addition, seven weeks in to taking this drug, the hives started. Some days they were all over, and other days they would be limited to one or two, but they sure were persistent. I hadn't been taking the inactive pills (instead, I opted to throw out a pill a day), and my only relief was during week 8 when I was throwing out my inactive pills instead of taking them. The hives continued weeks 9-11 on the active pills, and then week 12 when I decided to try taking the inactive pills to see what happened. For what it's worth, I didn't get pregnant while I was on it. I also wasn't sexually active though, so that's not saying very much. I didn't experience weight gain. I did feel some depression though, which was unusual for me. On the advice of my doctor, I stopped taking this drug. I'm now one full week post-Triprevifem and my hives have greatly improved and I'm starting to feel in better spirits. I will not take this drug again.Read More Read Less

I recently switched to the genric brand of ortho tri-cyclen because it was free because of my insurance. Lately I have been having alot of slight headaches and nausea.I have been taking this pill for a month. Now I know what it is THIS PILL!

I absolutely hate this birth control. I have been taking it for a month and a half and I have never felt so upset for absolutely no reason. I have horrible anxiety and nothing makes me happy. My thoughts are all over the place constantly and I can't stop the negative feelings. I stopped taking it in the middle of the pack yesterday. Hopefully this ends soon.

I'm 22 years old & have been using birth control since I was 15.. With being off birth control for the past year, I can say without a doubt tri-previfem is the worst I've ever taken.. I was on my third week of the pill when out of nowhere tri-previfem decided to assist in a yeast party in my vag.. I am not a kid I'm too grown for those & I've never had that problem before.. I immediately went to the doctor & got it taken care of but that was a deal breaker for me.. It also took a big chunk out of my sex drive.. I'm only 22 I should always be in the mood & ready to do it with my boyfriend & lately I can say I haven't been as excited as I usually am.. Aside from the fact that this pill has made me unusually lazy, my period is absent for the first time & what did come out, in the world of vag, was not a period. Now normally I would think I was pregnant but I was responsible in that area & I've never missed a pill.. I just don't like the feeling of expecting it to come & being on edge everyday waiting for it to pour out.. But this nightmare will be over for me because first thing in the morning I'll be calling my doctor requesting a different brand.. He might have a laugh about it considering how I didn't wanna get back on birth control in the first place.. I'll be sure to let him know that I don't find that funny.. & an itchy vag is a risk that I'm NOT willing to take.. R.I.P Tri-Previfem lol..Read More Read Less

crying constantly, at least 5 times a day. sad all the time. do not recommend. others have noticed a negative change in personality and mood.

Alright ladies let me warn you, yes this drug is very effective (not preggo yet), however, I've had the worse experience with this birth control pill. I feel depressed, I'm more anxious about things, I've become more lazy nowadays. This is horrible. However, everyone is different.

After the birth of my LO in April of 2013 the doc put me on Norethindrone which is a low dose pill. I loved it other than the fact it is not as effective as a normal BC. I switched to Tri-Previfem and immediately had dull headaches daily. I went thru a few days of migraines and nausea. I do not recommend this pill if you are sensitive to estrogen or BC. I also gained a little weight almost immediately which wasn't happening with the low dose pill I was on before.

I had a baby about 7 months ago and was put on the implant and had a period for four months straight from that and once I started this I have had nothing since and its a great relief!

DO NOT TAKE THIS! Yeah it is effective as far as not getting pregnant but the side effects are NOT worth it! Not only are you nauseous, weak, fatigued, depressed and all around crappy feeling, but the vomiting, mood swings, sudden crying spells, headaches and all over uncomfortableness is unbearable!!!! I have never been more sick in my entire life. Don't take a chance with this.

As far as this pill preventing pregnancy, it is just fine. However, the side effects are terrible. My insurance changed and I was put on this as the generic for Ortho Tri Cyclen. I immediately started having terrible side effects such as irritability, crying spells, food cravings, weight gain, stomach pains, nausea, headaches,depression, anxiety etc. This was the wort pill I have ever taken. I finished one pack and requested the brand name even though this was free and the brand name cost around $60. I would not recommend this pill to anyone. Read More Read Less

This is the only birth control I've used for at least two years. I've successfully avoided getting pregnant. This didn't make me gain weight or make me moody and crazy - being a woman does that all on its own. A 5 lb weight gain is nothing; most people fluctuate that much up or down every day! Besides, I would rather take an extra few pounds than a human growing inside me right now.

I'm an 18 year old girl whose had terrible cramps. I went on this medication 2 weeks ago for that (and sexual activity) assuming that I'd gain a few pounds. However this was not the case. I completely lost my appetite. I did gain a few pounds, I felt bloated, but I was not eating healthy at all. I began to get so tired that all I would do is lay in bed. I lost ALL motivation to do simple things such as go out shopping with friends. Knowing this, I'm sure you can assume that my trips to the gym stopped as well. And as of more recently my spleen has been hurting and my left abdomin has been aching. I thought I had mono, however the symptoms I had were due to this medication. DO NOT take it. I can promise you the side effects are NOT worth it. Read More Read Less

Hard to bare with the side effects of this medication which is constant nausea anytime of the day and headaches and lose or gain of appetite.
