| 5 | prevent pregnancy | None so far | Been taking triphasil for about a year or 2 after Marvelon gave me spotting. It's great...clears up the skin, and no visible weight gain. I have been having skin problems lately, but I'm not too sure if it is related to the birth control. I am also having problems getting it through my pharmacist. Pretty sure if you google it, you can find out what's going on. But overall, it's great...and does the job well! | F | 23 | 1.5 years | 9/24/2006 | 5 | Birth Control | I have not experienced many side effects. My breasts get a little tender and look bigger (no complaints there!) mid pack but this happens whether I'm on the pill or not. I'm a bit crabby the week before my period but nothing worth being concerned about. I never really had acne but when I did go off thi spill I noticed that I got pimples and when I went back on they cleared up and my skin is pefect. No nausea and I've never gained or lost any weight while being on Triphasil. | This is a great pill. My GYN put me on this pill when I was 20 and other than coming off it to get pregnant I've never had any issues. I did try Ortho 777 after haviong my second child and I had break through bleeding for 3 months. I switched back on Triphasil it all stopped. | F | 35 | 15 years | 9/22/2006 | 5 | contraceptive | none | F | 8 years | 9/18/2006 | 5 | Birth Control and regular periods | None | After 27 years of taking Triphasil-28 I was told by two major pharmacy's that it was discontinued. Can anyone please tell me where I can find it as I don't think I can live without it. Six weeks ago when I was told it was discontinued I started taking Trivora, a generic, that was supposed to be the same. Well let me tell you that IT IS NOT!!!! For the past month I have been sick to my stomach eating constantly so my stomach does not hurt which caused me to gain 8-10 lbs. I was clammy all of the time breaking out in a sweat when I would eat. I was eating so much that my stomach would eat up hurting from too much food. Because of the stomach problems I could not concentrate and barely could function. After seeing my primary care physician she told me my problem was probably hormonal and that is when I told her I changed birth control pills. Last night I decided not to take the Trivora any more and GUESS WHAT???? After skipping just one dose I woke up normal this morning with no | F | 47 | 27 years | 9/12/2006 | 1 | Prevent Pregnancy and for Cramps | I HATE TRIPHASIL-28 SO SO SO MUCH...NEVER NEVER TAKE!!

I had brest tenderness too! ~The only plus is that I grew a cup size!!! | I was on a different bc pill but then where I had got them quit carring my kind because of expensies, so I then got switched to Triphasil-28 and experenced lots and lots of problems! I HATE TRIPHASIL-28 SO MUCH! Im lucky I have an understanding boyfriend or even have any friends at all! This pill made me a walking crab-ass! I would snap at people for no reason at all...even if I didn't know them! I found myself to be very hateful towards everything and everyone! My boyfriend bought me home flowers thinking it would cheer me up and I honestly have no clue why but I flipped out and threw them! I used to weigh 121 and after 2 months I weigh 138 (awful!) My Skin went from beautiful zit free tan colored to like oily sickly pail, broken out full of acne! I would be in a happy good mood and within seconds for NO reason at all would find myself crying or flipping out over nothing at all then all of a sudden be laughing? I Had no energy at all! All I wanted to do was lay around! I was always bl | F | 19 | 6 months | 8/24/2006 | 5 | prevent pregnancy | No side effects noticed at all. Taking pill for 26 yrs. No adverse reactions. | Manufacturing problems getting triphasil 28 to pharmacy. They want to exchange for generic. Not quite sure about generic BC pill. Don't fix what ain't broken! | F | 45 | 26 days | 8/11/2006 | 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 | 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 | 3 | Birth Control | I have been taking Triphasil for about 7 years and it has helped with knowing exactly when my period is coming & it always is light, few cramps, last 3-4 days, however I am extremely moody & have depressive outbursts that I have no idea why, one minute I'm happy the other I'm sad, I plan on speaking with my gyno & getting switched off this pill cuz it's affecting my emotions | F | 24 | 7 years | 7/15/2006 | 2 | Prevent pregnancy | I gained close to 15 pounds in a few months, I had horrible mood swings and depressive episodes. My face broke out horribly. I had no energy. | I decided to stop taking this medication. I originally was taking ortho-tricyclen for nearly 2 years and the clinic I received it from stopped carrying that because of expenses. They put me on Triphasil and that is when my symptoms became the worst. | F | 23 | 5 months | 7/5/2006 | 3 | birth control | loss of sexual desire, very painful cramps, heavy period, more than one period a month, side effects got worse when i stopped taking the pill. | F | 18 | 2 months | 4/5/2006 | 2 | birth control | yeast infections, dry and irritated vagina | the constant recurring yeast infections were a deterrant to sex -- so this birth control was very effective. I switched to condoms and did not experience any more yeast infections. | F | 35 | 8 months | 3/22/2006 | 1 | cramps, contraceptive | weight gain, larger breasts, increased appetite | I was not on the brand triphasil, I was actually on the generic trivora. During the 4 years I took trivora, I gained 40 pounds. I was put on this medication because my insurance only covered generics at the time. I was originally on Ortho Tri Cyclen and I loved it. Now that I am off of trivora my appetite has gone down and I've lost at least 5 pounds. Triphasil might be great; but trivora is not. | F | 21 | 4 years | 2/14/2006 | 4 | ovarian failure-regulate periods | I've been on it for about 3 years now. This is probably the 4th pill I've been on. The other ones made me sick, so my doctor put me on this one. My periods are very regular since I've been on it, but before I never had cramps and in the past year I've started getting horrible ones. I never had acne before, but this pill keeps my skin pretty clear, but I do get some pimples during the week of my period. I do think this pill makes me incredibly moody, even depressed. My weight changes constantly. Some days I have no appetite at all and other days I can't stop eating. I'm about to switch to a different pill, so I'll see how that works. | I'm glad I found this website because I've been secretly battling depression for a long time and now I realize it could be because of the pill. If anyone wants to email me about this feel free. | F | 19 | 3 years | 2/9/2006 | 2 | birth control | weight gain | i aswitched from Ortho-tri cyclen. wouldn't suggest that anyone esle ever make that mistake | F | 23 | 6 months | 1/8/2006 | 3 | Birth Control | nausea, increased cramps, lighter periods, clearer skins, severe mood swings and DEPRESSION | I was on it for nearly a year before opting to switch. I was very moody the entire time, I had to seek counseling because of the depression. Once the pills were gone, so were the bouts of crying non-stop. | F | 20 | 1 years | 11/21/2005 | 1 | to clear up skin | SKIN GOT WORSE, frequent nausea, VERY frequent urination (especially at night), severe mood swings, sadness, felt pregnant (I'm definately not), very lethargic | I only used triphasil for 28 days, I was going to ride it out and see if the symptoms balanced out at all, but after reading the effects some girls spoke of, I have a feeling they may not. The mood swings were terrible, I have left work in tears for no reason at all, the nausea and urination were EXACTLY like being pregnant. I have barely worked out since starting it as most of the time I had no energy at all or I was nauseous. I would be careful with b/c before becoming dependant on these hormones. | F | 23 | 28 days | 9/19/2005 | 1 | Regulate cycle. | My period went from a heavy painless 2 days to an even heavier very painful 7-8 days. | Apparently this can happen to some people. Thanks for telling me this before I wasted half a year on this stuff Doc! | F | 20 | 6 months | 8/24/2005 | 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 | 3 | birth control | nauses first few weeks | took it for 7 years and started having high blood pressure right after. doctor's could not find out what was causing it and just decided that after 7 years that it was my birth control pill. quit taking the pill this year and within a few days my blood pressure was normal again. | F | 25 | 7 years | 7/29/2005 |
