| 1 | Do not want any more kids | Major increase in appetite, severe bloatation. Felt like I was 4 months pregnant the whole time i was on it. Gained 10 freaking lbs in 2 months! Mild headaches as well. Just before i quit taking Trivora i had major mood swings. I would even stop caring about my 2 boys' well-being. So not me at all!! | Never, Never, Never, take this crap again. Ive been off of them for 6 days and im just waiting to feel normal and lose the 10 lbs i gained. Stupid! | F | 26 | 3 months | 1/21/2008 | 1 | help regulate my period | it made me totally crazy | dont take it | F | 23 | 1 months | 1/20/2008 | 2 | birth control | bad headaches but not sure if its related to this b.c or the cold ive had for 2 wks now. | i am the one that commented a few wks ago about just starting trivora after being on ortho-tricyclen. ive read about all the side affects on here of headaches. i started waking up last wk w horrible headaches, but ive also had a bad cold and back and neck problems. so not sure if its related to those or not or strictly cuase of this b.c. i also am very regular on my cyle. every 4 wks to the day. have been for as long as i can remember. after swiching to this one, i am 2 days late!! is that normal, or is there a possibility i could be pregnant...now im scared. i am a single mother of 2 kids, dont want more at this time. please email me if you have had these similiar problems! | F | 25 | 23 days | 12/2/2007 | 5 | Birth Control | I started taking Trishasil 11 years ago, and 6 years ago I switched to Trivora. I have never had any side effects. | F | 26 | 6 years | 11/29/2007 | 1 | Birth Control | EXTREME Nausea, weight gain, increased moodiness, decreased libido | Planned Parenthood stopped carrying Ortho-Tri-Lo and switched me to Trivora appx. 6 months ago. I am already overweight, but have added on 10-15 pounds that are irregular. I already had a decrease in libido due to an anti-depressant, but there are times now that I feel like crying when my boyfriend wants to have sex. Now let's talk about NAUSEAU!!! I feel like I'm pregnant month after month with a boy again. It feels like morning sickness all over (no I am definetly not pregnant). On my way home from work today, I started to gag and thought I'd have to pull off the road. I have never been so miserable taking a medication in my entire life!! | F | 40 | 6 months | 11/20/2007 | 3 | birth control | i am just now starting this today. i am in the process of getting back on insurance and out of my ortho tri-cyclyn that ive takin for 6 years. the clinic i went to today, all they had was this. im nervous about starting this new one i know nothing about...... | F | 25 | 1 days | 11/8/2007 | 3 | Help out wit period/avoid prgncy | Very very nausea, sore breasts, tired alot, mood swings from hell,increase sex drive, and very emotional. | I started to take the pill about 2 months ago to avoid pregnancy and to help out my period. This was my first time taking the pill and at fist it was alrite. But now i just feel like Im going to throw up all the time even at work. Some days it will be fine and others i just feel like crap!! | F | 19 | 2 months | 11/2/2007 | 3 | b/c | I had cramps everyday for a week (before my period started). It was annoying. So far no significant spotting or bloating. However, I have noticed I am more emotionally sensitive to things. | F | 30 | 25 days | 10/18/2007 | 2 | Original BC switched through ins. | skin blotchiness when exposed to the sun, nausea, headaches, always tired | How can you tell for sure if the pill is the reason for why you're feeling these things? I've been on Trivora for about 6 months now, and it seems like I'm just now starting to notice that I feel like crap more days than not. I never had this problem when I was originally taking ortho tri cyclen. I get car-sick very easy, which I've never been like that before, and I have no energy regardless of how much sleep I get. Anyone have any suggestions? | F | 25 | 6 months | 10/2/2007 | 1 | Birth Control | I was moody , very aggitated, developed Melasma (pregnancy mask) , and Acne. I contacted the doctor and she told me to discontinue this , as the melasma could become permanent.. I have been on numerous b/c pills in the past, but have never experienced so many side effects.. | I will have to go the non-hormone road... | F | 29 | 1 days | 9/19/2007 | 1 | Doctor switched me from trilevlen | Horrible... Feel like i'm literally losing my mind! | I was on Yasmin before so i switched because i had no sex drive. I switched to tri-levlen before switching to Trivora and i absolutely hate it. i'm constantly fighting with my poor boyfriend and feel angry, sad, extremely depressed and insecure ALL the time... when i stop taking it for my period, its almost a relief because of the mental/emotional symptoms. i have never been an unhappy/angry person in my life, but i've become unmanageable... any small conflict turns me into an emotional wreck where i think i'm seriously going to do something bad! i hate this pill and its so damn hard to get ahold of my doctor to discuss... i'm soooo relieved to see that i'm not the only one experiencing these problems... | F | 25 | 6 months | 9/1/2007 | 1 | prevent preg. | periodic depression (every 2-3 mos lasting a week or longer) which increased in severity.. decreased libido, mood swings, headaches, not too much weight gain, tired all the time (even with the addition of Vitamin B-6 to my diet) | For the first 4-5 mos. everything seemed the same - little weight gain, little bloating, healthy libido, no real depression of mood swings . then as time went on it seems as thought the symptoms just kept getting worse. I gained weight that exercise couldn't get rid of, I experienced decreased libido and massive headaches daily,. the periodic depression and mood swings became more frequent and severe, making me "unpredictable" according to my boyfriend who has been far too understanding with all of this. This pill was not me although all of these types of BC tend to have mixed results. I guess its just a matter of finding something that works with your body's chemistry. I just switched to Ortho Tri-Cyclen lo, hopefully this works a little better! | F | 24 | 1 years | 8/13/2007 | 1 | Tri-levlen no longer covered by ins | Depression, Crying Spells, Irritability, Headaches, Anger Outbursts, Nausea, Nightmares, Weight Gain | This medication makes me feel as though I am literally losing my mind! My emotions have been completely out of control. It was quite a relief to read that other women have experienced very similar symptoms. I will never take this medication again! | F | 3 weeks | 7/23/2007 | 4 | Birth Control | The clinic I go to stopped carrying my regular pill (Ortho Novum 777), so they put me on Trivora for a month (and then they started carrying Ortho Novum again..). While on Trivora, I didn't experience any weight gain or moodiness. My body (boobs and all) stayed the same, and so did my emotional well-being. One thing that did change was my period. It lasted 3 days, and I experienced REALLY heavy bleeding (normally, I would bleed lightly for 5 days on Ortho Novum). | I generally have clear skin, but have some pimples here and there on my forehead region. Trivora cleared all of this up; it was WONDERFUL for my skin. | F | 23 | 1 months | 6/21/2007 | 5 | birth control | Increased sex drive, clearer skin, loss of appetite, signigicant weight loss (8 pounds), thirst | F | 23 | 8 days | 6/18/2007 | 4 | birth control | Increased sex drive | I just started taking trivora and like it so far. my skin has gotten much better | F | 24 | 3 days | 6/12/2007 | 4 | Birth Control | Bloating/increase in appetite during 3rd week of pills | I was originally on Trilevlen (Berlex) before my insurance switched me over to the generic, and I think this is much better than the Trilevlen because Trilevlen made me so moody I would start crying in the middle of the day. I tried switching to monophasic pills, but those made me gain 10 pounds so I switched back, and with Trivora, I've gone back to my original weight, my libido is the same, I don't have mood swings, and my appetite decreased back to normal. | F | 21 | 3 months | 6/11/2007 | 2 | birth control | weight gain, resistance to weight loss, emotional instability (mood swings, irritability, agitation, anger, depression), loss of libido, frequent urination. | Before starting trivora, I never had a problem going all night without getting up to pee, but now I get up at least 3 times a night! I have never had a weight problem, but between this pill and Zoloft, I am currently 60 pounds heavier that I started, and despite changing my diet and exercise, it's not coming off. My husband jokes that I only have 1 week out of a month that I'm not emotional-he's right. I'm switching to Desogen in 2 weeks. | F | 24 | 2 years | 6/9/2007 | 1 | birth control | i had horible headaches . getting sick all the time . always being angery and i am not that type of person . i would fly off the handle . depressed - which isnt good since i have a son to take care of . tired all the time . my husband told me i was a totally different person since i was on it . | i will never take it again | F | 21 | 5 months | 5/6/2007 | 1 | Birth Control | weight gain, spotting, highly emotional | This pill made me gain 10 pounds in 2 months, even though I never stopped excersizing and I hadn't changed my diet. It made me highly sensitive and emotional. Also, the second month I was on it I spotted everyday for 3 weeks until my next period began. I would not recomend this pill to anyone. | F | 23 | 2 months | 4/27/2007 |
