I was taking Ortho Tri lo for about 6 months and was fine with it. I went to the pharm. and they asked if I wanted the generic tri lo sprintec..I thought sure why not save a couple bucks. I took four days of pills and thought I was going to die...really. My whole left side of my body went numb and was swollen, my veins in my legs and neck felt like they were going to explode, my heart was racing so hard I could see it thumping through my shirt. The thought of food made me want to puke. On top of all that I had this horrible nervous feeling that I could not shake. I would find myself at work shaking and talking like a crazy person. I did get my ortho tri lo back but after these 5 days I am scared to take anything! :(
