I have been on Ortho Tri Cyclen for about 7 years without a problem. I recently switched insurance carriers and decided to try Trinessa because of the $$ factor. I heard soooo many horror stories that I was terrified but decided to go for it. i am now on my 3rd month and am thrilled to say that it was BETTER for me than Ortho Tri cyclen. Less mood swings, less headaches..the only thing was a heavier flow on my heavy days (2 days out of the cycle). I am not switching back.

I wanted to start back taking birth control so I asked my Dr to give me Ortho Tricyclen but the pharmacy gave me the generic Trinessa for insurance purposes. i had no side effects with Ortho tricyclen loved it but with Trinessa the worse experience. I had sore breast, and bad mood swings one minute I was happy and then sad. The worst part is I bleed on the pill for 2 1/2 weeks heavy. I switched to Kariva and everything is back to normally. I would not recommend Trinessa to anyone from my experience.

This birth control works great! I was taking Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo but generics are cheaper on my plan so Dr. switched me to this. I didn't experience any of the horror-story side effects I keep hearing about with this drug-in fact, my periods are much shorter with this (by 2 days!!) and the cute pastel yellow compact doesn't hurt either. It's basically the same as ortho tri cylclen lo for me, and I had no complaint then.

Trinessa has caused me so much grief. It did help regulate my period, but I have had so many crazy side effects it isn't worth it. Some of these side effects include rapid heart rate, depression, loss of sex drive, anxiety, bloating, and loss of sleep.

Well I began taking this June of 09, its now January 2011 so i've been on it 18 months. To start off the first few months were kind of rough i was nauseated a lot, my mood changed and my acne got worse, but as my body adjusted my acne has cleared im no longer nauseated but im still moody, this pill worked great for me even if i missed one or two or took with antibiotics (should always use a back up method, but i didn't) i still didn't get pregnant and it has also made my periods shorter, lighter, and almost no cramping!!!!!!!!

I haven't had any problems with TriNessa, and I've been taking it for 8 months. I originally switched from Yaz because it was way too expensive, and I didn't notice any differences at all! Overall I'm happy with it.

I have been on this b/c for over 6 yrs after the birth of my daughter. I've had to wear a panty liner due to discharge since the birth of my daughter b/c I thought it was due to having a child but now I realize it could be this b/c pill. I have discharge daily that requires me to wear the panty liner, mood swings, NO sex drive and difficulty having an orgasm during sex. I don't know if it is my body or the b/c pill. I have short periods with no cramping. The first pill after my period sometimes makes me nauseated as well. If anyone has had recommendations to my daily vaginal discharge (no smell, no STD's) I would appreciate help.

I took this as an alternative to Ortho Tri Cyclen and the cost associated with. The price was the only good thing about this. I HATED this pill. I've been on a few different brands in my day and this was the absolute worst. I was constantly moody, emotional and just felt crappy like I was depressed all the time. I hated it. As soon as I quit taking it and it was out of my system, I felt 500 times better. I do not recommend this to anyone.

I had been on Ortho-Tricyclen for almost ten years before I switched to this about a year and a half ago. Trinessa is just as effective and I don't have any side effects. My cycle was kinda weird when I made the transition but after a month, it was fine again. I would highly recommend this, plus it is much cheaper at the pharmacy.
