4 | | 11/10/2004 | 4 | Birth Control | occasional bloating, PMS, some cramps during periods and recently, breakthrough bleeding (but could be unrelated to the pill) | 21 | 18 months | 6/13/2007 | 4 | Birth Control | occasional bloating, PMS, some cramps during periods and recently, breakthrough bleeding (but could be unrelated to the pill) | 21 | 18 months | 6/13/2007 | 2 | Birth control purposes | Terrible nausea; sporadic bleeding; I've done 2 pregnancy tests already and I hear that people have fallen preggers while on this pill...it's an internal suffering that I'm going through - and my poor fiance has just about had it with my new found erratic mood swings. I finished my 1st pack this morning and I see myself switching to a different brand. Either that or suicide. | I feel horrendous! | 26 | 1 months | 3/18/2015 | 1 | birth control | I gained 40 lbs in 3 months on it and the nurse practitioner immediately took me off it. That was ten years ago at age 17. I have been afraid of oral contraceptives ever since.....oh and yes I lost 20 lbs after I quite taking it within six weeks of stopping with out dieting. Crazy. | | 3/25/2004 | 5 | birth control | None, it was great for 15 years | Why did they take this off of the market, it was a God-send for the entire time I was on it, I have been on Tri-Levlen for 3 months and have gained 10 lbs. | F | 42 | 15 years | 2/8/2007 | 5 | prevetion of falling pregant | i get mood swings head pains alot | i do like it alot it has worked4me | F | 20 | 6 months | 10/3/2006 | 5 | birth control | none | F | 25 | 7 years | 12/30/2004 | 5 | Birth Control | Dizziness the first month or so, but it evened out perfectly. I had lighter periods, clearer skin, never gained or lost any weight, and no more ovarian cysts. I tried 4 other brands Birth Control pills before this one, which in my opinion was the best. | Highly recommended | F | 24 | 6 years | 10/17/2004 | 5 | birth control | lost 40 pounds, Skin cleared up, acted as a appetite suppresant, and it helped with my ovarian cyst- stopped hurting. Plus, I have a hormone imbalance and I think it balanced out. Overall, I think it was wonderful for me. | F | 23 | 1.5 years | 8/31/2004 | 5 | birth control | none | I wasn't even aware that Tri-phasil wasn't available anymore until today. I went to the health dept. to get more pills and they gave me Ortho-Novum 777 instead. I'm nervous about switching pills. I loved Tri-phaisil-28. Never had any problems with it. Why is it gone? I really want it back! | F | 25 | 6 years | 4/11/2007 | 5 | contraception | none! | F | 21 | 2 years | 4/11/2007 | 5 | birth control | very FEW if any at all, I have been on it so long not sure if my moodiness is because of it or just adds to it? | very reliable when taken as directed, don't know what I'd do without it. Been with same partner 16 yrs and not one single problem with the Triphasil. | F | 35 | 17 years | 5/11/2005 | 5 | Birth control | Skin was clear, was a little moody, period was regulated (It's always been irregular) | If you take it for a long period of time (Several years) your body may become dependent on the hormones. A week after I stopped using it, after 6 years, I became lethargic, I got really bad acne, worse than I'd ever had, and just overall felt bad. Even after a year of not taking it, I've not improved. I'm going to get back on it this month. | F | 24 | 6 years | 6/12/2005 | 5 | heavy period | none | i had no sideaffects what so ever, periods on time, no breakthrough bleeding, no breast tenderness, nothing but pain free periods!! | F | 15 | 9 months | 7/28/2006 | 5 | birth control | none really, little weight gain when I first started taking it - but that was years ago | I cant believe it - they are taking this and Tri-levlen off the market. What good options for birth control exist in pills? According to this website, most other ones have mostly bad ratings becuse of side effects. I've been on Triphasil and Trilevlen for years with no problems - now I dont know where to turn or take! Any advice? | F | 31 | 5 years | 10/4/2007 | 5 | birth control and control of cramps | None | This has been a blessing. I tried others where I would have my period for 5 days, off for 2 days, and then start again. Then I had my period every 2 weeks. Triphasil regulated it immediately. The cramps are completely gone and I love it!! It is also offered in generic brand so it's not too expensive. | F | 25 | 9 years | 8/7/2006 | 5 | Birth control | None! I do get one or two pimples a few days before I get my period but that's about it. | I've been on Alesse, Ortho-Tricyclen and Tricyclen and they all have had bad side effects on me. Triphasil has been great so far! With the shortage, I now switched to Triquillar (which is the same as Triphasial but it's made by a different manufacturer) and it's the same as Triphasil! | F | 24 | 1.5 years | 11/27/2006 | 5 | None | Why have they discontinued Triphasil? My doctor prescribed me Tri-cyclen and I am gaining weight. I am always angry and I am getting a bladder infection. What else can I take that is compatible to Triphasil?? Help? | F | 38 | 18 years | 12/30/2006 | 5 | bc and cycle control | this is wonderful.. I have use Triphasil for years ..no negative side affects..was able to discontinue and have children and to restart for the benefit of regulating my cycle | WHY..OH WHY.... has it been discontinued...I am currently using generic Trivora and for the first time outside of pregnancy I have gained 6 pounds in a month....please(powers that be) advise us why you have taken Triphasil off the market. | F | 33 | 16 years | 1/24/2007 |
