Ortho Tricyclen Lo is the WORST! I've been on it for about 4-5 months now and it has changed my personality to the exact opposite of who I am! It has made me SEVERELY depressed, mood swings are off the chart, almost ruined my relationship because of how negative and sad it made me. No sex drive whatsoever! This is a very bad pill, I don't even know why it's on the market.
My doctors just prescribed me Estrostep Fe, I have good expectations with this one. So long as I get my sex drive back (going from having sex almost every other day, to maybe once or twice a week thanks to Ortho) and my bubbly happy personality back, I'm happy.
I don't care if I have tender breasts...I just want my sex drive back!!!

DOWN WITH ORTHO!

I do not recommend this pill at all. I can't believe I have been on this pill for nearly 5 years now and I'm just now putting the pieces together. My entire personality has changed. I get angry very easily and little things set me off. I get raging thoughts and I feel like I'm not in control of myself. I get headaches every day and migraines several times a month. I'm always nervous and anxious to the point where I don't even want to leave my house. This is not me at all. Over the past few years I just thought there was something wrong with me and my husband has been very understanding. He suggested it could be my birth control so I decided to do some research and I am shocked to read that there are others out there experiencing the same side effects. Can someone please recommend another birth control pill?

I am 17 and have been on ortho tri-cyclen lo for 2 years now I never really notice until I started having sex I wanted to do it for about the 1st 4 times than after that I never wanted sex, me and my bf had gone without sex for like 2months and every time he wants to do it I say I don't want to he says I never want to than it starts a huge fight, so we basically fight all the time. We have been together 11months yesterday. I don't know what to do I am really thinking its because of the pills, I get WAY moody, and I cry a lot. I'm always cranky and tired. I'm only 17!! I should want to have sex lots of sex not have no sex at all what is wrong with me? could if be the pills ? I have been on them for a long time now but I never really thought that it would be birth control to cause all of this.someone please reply.
