 1  birth control weight gain, mood swings, low libido, unbelievable cramping and bloating, irritable, breast tenderness and exhausted I've been on bc since I was 19, went off for 2 years to have children, and this is the worse pill ever! I've never felt so abnormal in my life, I really wanted to hurt people! In the course of a month I would only have maybe 5 GOOD days!! The rest of the month I would be crampy, bloated, irritable, exhausted, my legs ached and my breast would be tender and THEN I would get my period!!! I never had problems with bc pills until these damn piece of sh*t insurance companies decided they didn't want to pay for brand-name prescriptions. As long as I'm on a brand-name bc pill I have no problems but as soon as I get switched to a generic form all hell breaks loose. I'm really tired of these corporate giants trying to dictate to me and everyone else what they think is better for us! Anyway, don't try this pill if you value your sanity. 44 7 months

 1  Had to switch due to insurance Depression, anger, irritability, extremely painful urination... I had been taking Triphasil for 3 years without any complaints, but due to my insurance co. not covering it, I had to switch to Trivora(generic). I hadn't had any problems, that i noticed, but now that I have just read one particular rating, I am beginning to think that this is my problem. I have had SEVERE pain while urinating, not just once in awhile, but everytime, for 4 straight years! I also have been to the ER, Urologists, etc. had 50 million tests, only for them to find nothing wrong with me. It never dawned on me that it could be the birth control. I am definitely going to switch! Thank you for helping me! Good luck to all of you! F 24 5 years

 1  endemetriosis and dysmenorrhea emotional, mood swings, and depression. when i was taking trivora, i became emotional and irrational in dealing with life situations, which i didn't experience with my former medication. i started to hate myself and couldn't understand why i was reacting that way, until i discovered this site- that many other women experienced the same thing that i was experiencing.i wouldn't recommend this medicine.

 1  Birth control Severe urinary pain. I took this medicine for five years. I've never found anything that said that this side effect was a possibility. It never even occured to me that it could be caused by my birth control until I decided to get an IUD due to the side effect of lowered sex drive. Now that I don't take Trivora anymore I don't hurt all the time. I went to doctors all the time and they kept just telling me that I had a UTI because all of the symptoms were the same. I even went to the ER twice because the pain was so bad. I even went to a urologist, and no one could tell me what was wrong. Eventually it began to weaken my bladder. I can't even tell you how much it hurt if I didn't drink a gallon of water every day. I gained weight too, but that's probably due to my less than ideal diet. And I got huge boobs too. I went from a small B to a big D. That was neat, but not worth it. I started out taking the name brand Triphasil, but I had to switch to Trivora after because my insurance wouldn't pay for the formulary if a generic was available. I had the problem with both of them. I just want people to know that the urinary pain is a possible side effect. I would have switched in a heartbeat if I knew that it might have been the birthcontrol I was taking. F 26 5 years

 1  birth control Very very moody and felt extremely jittery all the time. Almost like my skin was crawling. I felt angry a lot and I am not an angry person. I had been put on it several years ago due to our lovely insurance coverage we have. Had problems then & went back on triphasil28.I only switched to it because my pharmacy could no longer get it due to some manufacturing issues. I have been on it 3 months this time I have been switched to tri ortho cyclen. I hope it works. F 45 3 months

 1  birth control I took tri-phasil for many years and my insurance changed I had to take the generic form called Trivora. I never had any problems with Triphasil but on Trivora I was very moody, lacked any interest in sex and the only time I felt better was the week of my period when I wasn't taking the pill. I just visited the doctor today and am going back on Tri-phasil with the extra cost out of pocket. After discovering what the generic does to my body I'm happy to pay extra for the name brand.

 4  period regulation cramping Even though birth control is supposed to help your cramps, I get some vicious ones on Trivora. However, it hasn't given me mood problems and my period is regular enough to set a clock to. It also has not caused any weight gain, which Ortho-Tri did, so I can't complain there. I like it.

 2  painful period/anemia After being on Triphasil for 4+ years, my insurance asked if I would go on the generic verison. Thinking all birth control brands were alike, I agreed. I have been on it for several months and are finally down to my last pack (couldn't switch earlier due to cost). I will never take this brand again. Normally I am not a very emotional person. On this med. I cry almost daily over the slightest thing. I used to enjoy watching Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, but have now stopped watching it since I cried through most of the show. I do not feel like myself on this brand of birth control. I would advise people to carefully think before trying this brand. F 22 5 months

 2  painful periods/birth control Acne, facial spots especially when exposed to the sun, body rash from sun exposure, headaches during entire period. I used to pay out of pocket for Triphasil and had no problems. After I got married, husband's insurance issued generic which was Enpresse. I didn't observe any significant changes/problems. Then, started mail-ordering through insurance company and was issued another generic called Trivora and have nothing but problems. Just received new Rx for Zovia and will begin pills next month.

 1  generic of triphasil 28 I had massive hair loss and excruciating headaches on this medication. I have been taking triphasil 28 for years with no problems then my insurance company nicely switched me to this generic without asking. I will not take trivora anymore and will be paying more to go back to triphasil. F 35 2 months
