Trinessa symptoms and conditions

I am on my second month of the tri-sprintec and I have been freaking out like some of the girls above about thinking i'm pregnant. My boobs are killing me, i'm eating like crazy, my face is dry,I feel so bloated, and just had a little blood in my urine. I stopped taking BC for about 6 mos. before being prescribed to the Tri-sprintec. Before taking the break from BC I was on trinessa for years which was great and also cheap. No side effects there. I never have bad PMS and this is the worst!

TriNessa: I am an 18 year old girl. I have loving parents, a great home, good grades, sport teams, wonderful friends, and an incredible boyfriend. Nothing is wrong with my life right now and nothing is even complaint worthy. I started taking TriNessa not for sex but to control my period because I was getting it twice a month and was therefore iron deficit. Then I started feeling a little down, not motivated, sad. Then I started to get this overwhelming sense of doom, like my life was on an extreme downturn, but nothing had changed. I don't have any history of depression but I would have been clinically diagnosed as depressed because I would go to bed crying and wake up crying and had this sense of hopelessness and despair. I almost asked my boyfriend to take a break even though he is the most amazing guy ever until I figured out that it was the trinessa. there is something seriously messed up with this medication and I would advise all to use this with extreme caution.

i just got switched to apri, from trinessa, to control the mood swings that trinessa gave me, someone please tell me they had a positive experience with apri, all im reading is how horrible the mood swings are.

I was on Loestrin 24 for 9 months and thought it was wonderful....until I was recently hospitalized for 2 weeks with blood clots in both lungs. The doctors determined that it was the Loestrin. If anyone knows of a class action lawsuit against them, please let me know.

I have been on Aviane for almost 3 months now. I have already experienced depression and severe anger problems. I get mad over the littlest things now and I feel like breaking things... I feel enraged often and feel like hitting the people who make me angry. Also, I have never had any problems with my periods other than cramps. Before Aviane, my periods were only about 3-5 days long. After taking Aviane, I have experienced 2 periods of unreasonable lengths. The first one was a week and a half, the other a FULL TWO WEEK LONG PERIOD! This is insane! I am just starting my third week of my third month and am experiencing spotting which, like before with the other 2 months of Aviane, will turn into another period 1 1/2-2 weeks long! My cramps in addition became worse than before and I developed bad acne. I was previously on Trinessa and the only problem I had with that pill was acute depression causing me to not sleep as well. I told my doctor and he switched me over to Aviane. And in addition to everything, I have experienced significant weight gain and a URINARY TRACT INFECTION! I am a very clean person; I have never had a urinary tract infection before, and it does not run in my family. I believe Aviane is the reason why I have developed a UTI. I seriously advise everyone not to take this Birth Control. I have been on 3 different birth controls and I NEVER had problems with any of the others not nearly as severe as I have with Aviane. Under my personal experience with it, Aviane is the WORST BIRTH CONTROL EVER! I am getting off of it ASAP!

I posted a question to anyone who used Tri-Sprintec before, but now it's been several months & I'd like to let everyone else know how it's worked for me! Tri-Sprintec has been the best birth control I've ever taken. I have been on other birth controls over the years, and up to this point Yasmin was good but I still had some side effects. I've just started my fourth month on Tri-Sprintec, and I feel more like myself again. I don't have any crazy mood swings, my skin has cleared up, my periods are regular again & my appetite has gone back to normal. I recommend Tri-Sprintec to anyone who is looking for an affordable & reliable birth control (it's offered at the Wal-Mart pharmacy for $9 a month if you don't have insurance.)

I have been on Yaz for a few weeks. The side effects are awful. I am 31 and haven't been on BCP's since 1999. I sat down with my NP to explore different options for dealing with my terrible periods and she thought Yaz was the answer.
Well I have averaged about 4 hours of sleep a night since starting it. Because Yaz is like a diuertic I am up peeing all night as well.I feel anxious and panicky. Normally I am very laid back but feel like I am going nuts.The thing that drives me the most crazy is having restless legs while lying in bed. Time to get my potassium checked? I will be stopping this med as nothing should make you feel this bad. Not worth it.As a nurse I would never tell my patients to take this. I feel like an idiot for starting a pill that 1000's of women on the internet are complaining about.Of course you would never see the positive comments. But this pill sucks!

Oh my god! I just called my gyn to put me back on Yasmin because I was on TriNessa (just as evil as Yasmin). About 3 years ago I had my daughter after trying for 8 years to get pregnant (I have PCOS). My periods were irregular and I was concerned about ovarian cancer as my chances are higher due to the PCOS. My gyn suggested yasmin. I took it for about 3 months. During which time I bleed almost constantly. The doc said I needed to give it more time to even out. I started having severe leg cramps and rapid heart rate. One night, I started having really strange chest pains and was vomitting, needless to say I was concerned of a heartattack. My family doc sent me for a stress test to check my heart, it came back ok. I even mentioned to my doc that I was feeling more depressed and that the leg cramps and heart problem seemed to start with taking Yasmin and he just dismissed it!! My heart palpitaitons and leg cramps stopped when I stopped Yasmin but my depression contined with the new prescribed pill TriNessa and even more symptoms occurred such as extreme exhaustion (I can't seem to get enough sleep), unmotivated, antisocial, aggitated, tearful, no sex drive, weight gain, bloated, heavy periods... I just feel horrible and unhappy. So to any one who is getting off Yasmin do not, I repeat do not take TriNessa! Now that I realize that my other symptoms are validated with the use of Yasmin, I'm not going to take that either! Does anyone who has PCOS know of a good BCP to take to regulate your periods without making you insane?
