| 5 | Mennhorhagia | Bloating | M | 16 | 2 months | 8/19/2008 | 4 | Prevent Pregnancy | After being off the pill now for 16 months I can definately say it lowered my sex drive while I was taking it. Also, since going off of it I've gained 10lbs. and my skin has been breaking out. My period have still been light and I think my body hasn't gotten used to producing it's own hormones yet. I'm trying to conceive and wish I wouldn't have taken it for so long. | M | 26 | 9 years | 8/6/2005 | 4 | Birth control | mood swings, bloating, ocassional vaginal infection, oily skin before period, but generally very good | very few side effects, but skin is not as good as when I was on Ortho Tricyclen | M | 28 | 2 years | 3/23/2005 | 3 | Birth Control and low oestrogen lev | I've been on triphasil for a month now. Felt fine the first two weeks, now I've been bleeding for two weeks straight. Skin has cleared up a bit, but I'm having suicidal thoughts, getting depressed, angry and I'm constantly tired. | M | 34 | 1 months 1X day | 8/11/2010 | 1 | To regulate my period | Sad all the time. Cry at random. Feel overwhelmed in crowds. Fatigued. Very depressed bordering on negative thoughts. | M | 25 | 3 weeks | 10/14/2014 | 1 | Preventing Pregnacy | Shortness of breath, mood swings, feeling like something it's stuck on my throat, upset stomach, tiredness, migranes, feeling like vomiting, lost appetite, heart sometimes beats too fast, as if it can be rooted off my chest, non energetic, sensitive to any smell. dizzy at times. 3 days was enough for me. I'm still trying to recover from all of those sides effects. It's just too much to deal with. | M | 31 | 3 days | 2/20/2020 | 5 | prevent pregnancy and help reduce acne | my tummy becomes big and hard a week before my periods start | it really helped me with face acne. my skin is smooth | F | 26 | 1 days 1pill per day | 10/25/2015 | 5 | contraception | It was so great that now that I finally went off it for a year I'm going back on. It helps clear my skin. And regulate me. No weight gain. No cramping. It was great regret even going off | F | 33 | 10 years | 1/20/2016 | 5 | Bloating, moody,weight gain, low ibido | Good contraceptive | F | 36 | 2 years | 8/19/2016 | 5 | Contraceptive | No side effects whatsoever, no pregnancy, mimics natural body sequence, helped clear up skin, cheap!! All people going off about this pill should not say its bad. Everybody takes differently to hormones within their body because we are all made up of our unique & specified genetic makeup. I'm pretty sure it's a given that any body trying new hormonal contraceptive will expect either a positive or negative change. Instead of saying other people not to try it, go to your GP instead to find the right pill for you, they know better :) | F | 20 | 4 years | 7/27/2014 | 5 | Prevent pregnancy | No side effects and no babies! | F | 27 | 5 years 1 tab | 5/23/2014 | 5 | had been taking triphasil since 16 | no side effects at all. had been on this BC pill for 15 years. did experience however about 6 months ago my period coming later. i'd finish the pack of 28 and wouldn't get my period until day 2 of new pack. found it strange that after so many years of being on triphasil that i'd experience such a change. dr prescribed yasmin which i did not like and now trying loestrin (on day 1 of pack 1 today). | overall i must say this BC pill was fantasic! did get a bit moody (angry, upset, crying) a week before my period would arrive but i knew when in the pill pack they'd be coming so i'd be careful. sex drive was great. no major complaints!! | F | 32 | 15 years | 5/4/2008 | 5 | Periods 2x monthly, bad PMS | Tri-levlen 28 was the ONLY birth control pill I would take that would control both my bad PMS and having two periods a month (really!). I took it for 15 years until the pharmacy all of a sudden gave me a generic version one day, which I could not tolerate and went into horrible depressions before and after my period. This has been the case for TWO YEARS. I've even lost my job twice due to the depression. My gyno put me on Lybrel to stop my periods. I went through hell on the third month, lost my job then (it was like going through a fast version of menopause). Now, I'm going having week-long pms-like symptoms every other week. It's hell. I'm calling Bayer and asking them to bring it back! | The medical industry does not fully understand or respect how hormones can affect women, even the smallest amounts! Clearly, if a generic has something minor different from the brand AND affects a woman so much, then it's time to take us more seriously! | F | 40 | 15 years | 5/24/2008 | 5 | first birth control prescribed | i started taking triphasil at 16, had initial water weight gain but lost it shortly afterward. other than that, it took my 2 week long periods down to 3 days flat. i loved it. | i took triphasil for almost 4 years until they discontinued it. after they stopped making it i took trivora and the side effects were horrifying. a little difference does go a long way. too long id say. i had bad bad cramps near my kidneys 2 hours on the dot after id take the pill and become nauseated with additional stomach pain and that would last about 6-8 hours where i could barely move. i felt like i was dying! i now take trinessa, generic for ortho tri-cyclen and i have no side effects from it, besides again, initial weight gain but my period is at least 7 days long up to 10 days once in awhile. i wish they would bring triphasil back. it was by far the best. | F | 21 | 3 years | 7/21/2008 | 5 | birth control | a little bit of weight gain | as soon as i come off it i was not having problem to get pregnant again. | F | 36 | 8 years | 7/11/2007 | 5 | Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome | None it was the best BC pill ever! | Was on Triphasil-28 for close to 8 years and was devastated to learn it was going off market. Was lucky to have six month supply but ran out. Ordered it from Canada and it isn't the same formula. I am now on Yasmin and hope it works! My dr is saying it is great for women with PCOS. Any advice would be appreciated! | F | 35 | 8 years | 8/13/2007 | 5 | bc | none | Ive been on triphasil 28 for approx 15 years without any problems, except now I cant find it any where and I have to take the generic and have had breakthrough bleeding for the past 4 weeks, talk about PMS. I want my pills!!!!! | F | 31 | 15 years | 12/26/2007 | 5 | birth control | none | I have tried almost every birth control on the market, and this one is by far the best! (I'm taking Trivora--the generic.) I have no side effects (maybe weight gain, but I can't confirm that). My period stops on time, no migraines, and no crazy moodswings! I would recommend this to anyone--however, I know from experience that not one b/c works for everyone. Find one that works, and stick with it! :) | F | 24 | 1 months | 1/15/2008 | 5 | I have been taking Triphasil for about 8 years and I have never had any problems with it. 3 days before the end of the cycle I had just one day of mood swings. I had to stop taking it a year ago because of possible complications with other medicines. Being off of it was an extreme shock to my system for the last year (horrible cramps that I hadn't experienced ever before and massive mood swings for a week leading up to my period). Went back on it 2 months ago and everything was back to normal. Then I go to get my refill today and heard it was really discontinued and that I need to see a doctor to get a recommendation for another pill. Nice to know. I know this will mess up my system again. Please tell me this is just like what you guys said before about it being out of stock and not discontinued like they said. | F | 25 | 8 years | 1/14/2008 | 5 | Tri Levlin | No Side Effects at all | I am soooo sad, I have been on Tri-Levlin for 7 years and everything was great, as soon as I took the generic I developed terrible side effects and have been on 3 different pills that I hate! I wish that they still produced Tri Levlin | F | 26 | 7 years | 1/28/2008 |
