| 5 | Acne | Tender breasts, nausea, fatigue, loss of appetite | My acne is getting better I'm happy, the pills give me a glow and I'm never gonna stop taking them. I once forgot to take a pill but it was only once and I took it later on apparently I was spotting. | F | 25 | 1 months 1X day | 10/5/2023 | 5 | I have hormonal imbalance | I have never experienced any side effects | F | 23 | 3 months 1X day | 2/16/2022 | 5 | For pregnancy prevention | Mild mood swings nothing I couldn't handle in the first few years .I was constantly in the mood for love making. | Since using them I had a clear skin,no acne but few years back I started having pimples now and again,I realise now they gave me balance with my hormones and skin .I'm going to use them again only for my skin now.My husband had a vasectomy ...so yah .That's my story. | F | 37 | 12 years 1 box mont 1X day | 5/20/2021 | 5 | Bloating, moody,weight gain, low ibido | Good contraceptive | F | 36 | 2 years | 8/19/2016 | 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 | 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 | 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 | Birth Control | Taking pill for 2years,skin has improved greatly. You can't fall pregnant if you're taking it correctly.Doesn't cause mood swings,great product | F | 25 | 2 years | 6/12/2012 | 5 | Mennhorhagia | Bloating | M | 16 | 2 months | 8/19/2008 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 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 | 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 | 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 |
