For Birth Control "My pharmacy switched me from Tri-lo sprintec to this because it was free on my insurance. I am on month 3. For me, the positives are that I've lost the weight I gained on tri-lo sprintec and I am no longer bloated all the time. However my mood, which was even and calm before, changed immediately on this pill. My mood changes in an instant and I've had several breakdowns and severe anxiety which almost never happens to me. I am also starting to experience hair thinning and inflamed pimples all over my chin and cheek area which was never an issue before, not since I took accutane. I am switching after this pack to brand name ortho tri cyclen lo with the hopes that my skin clears back up and my mood stabilizes."

For Acne "I am just a few days into my initial pack, like a trial. And immediate acne like I've not had in a long time. Teenage worthy. My immediate thought is my body needs time to adjust, but after seeing reviews of women who have stuck it out for months. I'm going to stop before I really got started. Because it seems evident that for many it never got better. I'll save myself a lot of heart ache and discomfort."

"I've been on Tri lo for years (2-4). I tried Depo first and could never stop spotting on it. Back to Tri Lo, no real change in skin. No dryness in my lady parts. Recently, over the last year or two, my mood has changed. I'm extremely irritable and short tempered. I chalked it up to bad relationship problems. Now that that stress is over, I've really taken notice of the mood problems. Periods are short, never more than 5 days, I have no cramps or spotting. I love that. But I'm going to try another birth control (kariva, per my doc) to see if it helps my moods. I noticed the first few months, I was "always hungry" but I regulated my self. I knew how long it had been since I ate, so I didn't eat or binge eat. So no real weight gain. I work with the public so the mood issues are my only reason for trying a new med. You have to try these things your self and see how you'll react. Don't trust all the reviews. Everyone is different. Birth control is trial and error. Best of luck!"

For Birth Control "I'm 30 years old and was on ortho tri cyclen lo since I was 16, I absolutely loved it! No side affects, period was right on time, no acne, no nausea or anything. Well I got on my husband's insurance and they switched me to tri lo marzia saying it's the same just generic, yeah right, I started taking in it June or July and since then I've been in the ER twice because of panic attacks and ALL of my organs were infected and inflamed, I finally got that taken care of except for the panic attacks, I had to quit working, I don't want to see my family anymore, I can't go to the movies which I used to go every weekend since I was 4, the only good thing about this pill, yes I get my period on time no heavy bleeding and I'm not pregnant. But I have to switch I can't take these panic attacks anymore, it's not who I am at all"

For Acne "I LOVED this pill and wish it did not cause me to spot on my third week of the pill pack. Other than spotting everything worked great for me. I switched to yaz because of the spotting and hate it, wish I could go back and just not have the spotting."

For Acne "Tri-Lo-Marzia was my first birth control pill and I took it for 3 months. I had been getting annoying hormonal acne along my jawline and chin every month so my dermatologist suggested this. My period used to be 5 days long, but this pill made my period last 10 days and it worsened my cramps. Also my self confidence plummeted as this pill made me gain an extra 5-7 pounds. I looked and felt bloated all the time. At first I blamed it on quarantine, but as soon as I switched to a generic version of Yaz, I dropped those extra pounds within a week. My acne maybe improved a little bit, but not enough to justify longer periods and weight gain. This pill did not work for me; I do not recommend."

For Birth Control "In the beginning of taking this BC it was not too bad. After a few months, I started experiencing side effects. I get cramps so bad I have to stop walking or stop any movement I'm making and just freeze until they go away. I also feel like I'm tired all of the time. Recently I have been experiencing headaches and bloating. I've also noticed that ever since I have been on this birth control I have an extremely low sex drive. I never did gain any weight but I have been battling with crazy cravings. I have always had very bad hormonal acne and after being on this birth control, I have noticed it cleared up some but not completely. I would be cautious if you are on this birth control. Give this birth control at least 3 months for your body to adjust. For me, I have given it a year and it just keeps getting worse."

For Birth Control "I have been on this for about five days and have experienced horrible nausea. For about 20 minutes after I swallow this pill through the rest of the day, and sometimes the next morning, I have a lump in my throat and non-stop nausea and bloating. It is absolutely horrible. I am getting off of this and going with an alternate method as soon as I can."

For Birth Control "Switched from ortho-tri-cyclene to Tri-lo-marzia because I mysteriously received a free renewal in the mail (w/o prescription). Weird, I know. It's been making me super tired, bloated, and depressed. I've been taking it for 5 days and I'm going to stop taking it and see my doctor asap. I don't know why I got this free, un-prescribed prescription in the mail but it sucks."

For Acne "Worst experience of my life. I had really bad acne last year and went on this pill for about three months. My skin cleared tremendously within the first two months, but that literally didn't matter anymore due to the severe depression and anxiety this pill gave me. I was a completely different person. I was always exhausted, so easily irritated, and very depressed, and I also gained a lot of weight. I would cry over the slightest things too. Once I went off of it, I immediately felt like myself again and l dropped the weight in the course of 2 months."
