| 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 | 2 | Birth control | ek was altyd naar gewees and my breasts were very tender. very painful | i always wanted to vomit and felt as though I was pregnant. My breasts grew but had to change to Nordette | F | 25 | 19 days | 4/7/2008 | 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 | 4 | To regulate menstruation | Never experienced side effects for the past 20 months, but I have recently experienced headaches during my periods. | It helped reduce my period pains which were very severe. I recommend it. | F | 26 | 21 months | 1/17/2008 | 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 | 3 | BC and to regulate menstruation | Made me vomit the first day and a few times during the year I took it. | No other side effects other than the vomiting. Boo vomiting. | F | 21 | 1 years | 1/5/2008 | 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 | 1 | extra estrogen | UTI symptoms, Yeast infection and Vaginosis symptoms, yet did not have them. Weight gain (2 sizes) | Not recommended! More trouble than it's worth! | F | 30 | 2 months | 12/5/2007 | 1 | To regulate menstruation | EXTREMELY HEAVY BLEEDING FOR 2 MONTHS WITH NO END IN SIGHT!!! | First of all, why the hell did my doctor prescribe this knowing it was off the market? Second, during my 4th month on Triphasil 28s, I began to have heavy vaginal bleeding. That was 7 and a 1/2 weeks ago and it is STILL ongoing. I soak through 4-5 pads PER HOUR. I have absolutely ZERO energy and I'm afraid. | F | 31 | 5 months | 11/14/2007 | 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 | 2 | Birth Control | 2 WEEKS OF BLEEDING EVERY MONTH, LOSS OF LUBRICATION, LOSS OF SENSATION/DECREASE SEX DRIVE (PLEASE NOTE THIS IS ON GENERIC TRIPHASIL-TRIVORA AND THEN ENPRESSE AS TRIPHASIL BRAND OFF MARKET) | F | 36 | 1 years | 6/23/2007 | 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 | 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 | Lost weight which was good how ever since wanting to have another child and getting off of the pill I have not been able to get pregnant for a year now! | F | 29 | 8 days | 6/8/2007 | 4 | prevent pregnancy | Triphasil-28 was the first birth control prescribed to me (same that my sister was also on it) and it was great. However, I since I been off it for 17 months I have been unable to reproduce. | F | 30 | 10 years | 5/21/2007 |
