Decrease in Sex Drive with taking Trinessa

I was switched over to the Generic brand, Trinessa, from the ortho tri-cyclen automatically without notification. Every since I have started to take this pill I have noticed a decrease in my sex drive. I also am very irritable, tired and have mood swings every now and then. I don't remember ever feeling this way on the Ortho Tricyclen. Has anyone else had this type of side effect?

Switching To OTC

My wonderful TriNessa experience!

My turn girls...I've been on TriNessa for 4 years now, and since the first time I've taken it, I've wondered, "Why am I such a raving lunatic when it comes to PMS or my period?" Last year, after a lot of research, I figured out it was the pills. I've definately had mood swings, nausea, and random cramping. But unlike a previous entry I'd read, I DO NOT have a loss in appitite. It's either a GAIN in appitite or I've lost some self-control. A friend of mine said she'd gained weight after being on the pill..but who knows what's the cause! And it's helped with my acne a lot as well, but, I'm taking it with Mino Cycline (which helps with acne). All I know is that I need to find a new form of birth control to take. I don't take birth control because I sleep around or anything, I take it for my acne and regulation of my periods. So, if yal know of any good birth control I could take, please let me know! That's all I have for everyone..

God Bless Ya

First Night on TriNessa

alcohol and trinessa

i don't like trinessa....put me back on otc!

headaches?

Ms

Wow!

Wow! Did the makers of Trinessa pay the last two people to write the last two entries or what? This isn't a forum to warn the world against Trinessa, it's a place where people like me, who have been thinking they're going crazy, realize that it's my pills that are making me crazy, and my life doesn't have to be like this.

about trinessa

I visited my doctor over a month ago and specifically told him to prescribe me something that could help my bad acne ,so my doctor prescribed me Ortho Tryciclen lo but when I got the pills and went over the little book that comes along with it I never found anything that mentioned that it could actually improve your acne. I called my doctor and they told me that for further questions on the pill call the 1-800 number. they told me that there were not enough researches done on the pill that could actually prove that otc lo worked for acne. So then I called my doctor again and he changed my prescription to just OTC, when I got the pills I decided to save a couple of bucks and get the generic ones instead : trinessa.I started Around 2 weeks ago and I'm not really sure about it because of what I've read about trinessa.maybe OTC (the real one) works better, I don't Know I just want to get rid of my acne and get my menstrual cycles regularly for once and for all!!!!

Substitution of TriNessa

Well it seems like most people are upset with their pharmacies because they have received "trinessa" instead of "ortho-tri cyclen" like the doctor wrote on the prescription, or more likely that the pharmacies have filled it with trinessa without letting them know. well.....if the doctor doesn't specify to fill it brand then the pharmacies fill it automatically generic for everyone.

So from the start the doctor knows that u are going to receive trinessa. yes i find it very weird that trinessa is the generic version of ortho tri cyclen, and they are suppose to work the same but they really don't according to everyone here. I have received several of the side effects mentioned by most of you but I never thought that it could be the pill. And i asked couple pharmacist why i was getting so nasauted, and just felt like i was getting morning sickness for about 2 weeks, and the first thing they told me is, "u might be pregnant". but that wasn't the case even.

Anyway, that was back in november or december. Things seemed to clear up until recently. I missed 2 pills in the 2nd week and received my period, and i've still got spotting and it hasn't gone away and its been about a week, and i dont know if i should just wait it off or go see the doctor immediately??? there's couple other concerns i have that i wish someone would help me explain, i've never really experienced this. If there is anyone that knows anything about infections please email me at marysienka01@hotmail.com.

WTF? Side effects of TriNessa

Ms.

I thought something was wrong with me. Who can we contact to get this OFF the shelves or at least inform women about this. Doctors do not talk to patients enough I think. I was never told of any possible side effects or asked if it was ok to switch my birth control.

I started out with OTC when I got a steady boyfriend. The next year my doctor just switched me to trinessa without saying anything. I don't know why because I have no insurance and pay my way myself -- OTC is only $10 more no biggie. I didn't say anything because I thought it was the same. Until this website confirmed my suspicions. I think I should have known -- does generic ibuprofen work the same as Advil --no not to me, but we trust our doctors and pharmacists.

Now looking back my problems started at the time of the switch. I have gained 65lbs. in about 3 years-- I have always liked and had a problem with sweets and weight, but now it's like I can't control myself or ever get enough. Like being an alcoholic. My sex drive is now non-existant. Me and my boyfried used to have sex about 3 times a day and now in the past year we have had sex around 10 times. I don't want sex at all-- I thought it may have been stress, weight gain, or/and the pill, but now I think it may have been the brand from reading everyone else's side effects.

It was so bad, I decided to stop taking the pill, and almost immediatly I detected a change. I had been crying almost every day and I thought it was stress and depression. When I stopped taking trinessa the everyday crying stopped right away. It was very dramatic. My libedo came back somewhat-- I am afraid I will never have the sex drive I had before -- I am hoping if I lose weight it will help.

I decided to get on the pill again and again I was given trinessa. Reading everyone's comments, I want to get back on OTC. How can we get trinessa off the market? Doctor's should ask what we want put in our bodies-- I want the name brand. I buy Advil and Tylenol for a reason -- better quality. I have now put a low quality drug in my body that I think has now altered the way my body works. Someone should be accountable for giving us all substandard drugs.

Numbness

After three months

Alright, so everyone is having some seriously bad side effects. Personally, I don't have many of them at all. The doctor explained all these things to me before perscribing the pills. Spotting is normal for the first three months. Its jsut your body adjusting to the drugs.

The only real problems I had like feeling sick and having headaches went away after the first three months. Now my period is always the same day, and is usually only three days long. I actually started breaking out less, and I found out if you take the pills before bed you don't notice the side effects as much. (Its just easier for me to remember to take them in the morning.)

I've only ever been on TriNessa, and I probably won't change. Weight gain, nausea, headaches and spotting are all normal birth control side effects. (And personally, my sex drive is basically the same as before) But I don't know what to tell you about yeast infections....

Haven't had any problems...

I was switched from Ortho Tri-Cyclen to Trinessa 28 after my OGBYN incorrectly informed me that they were no longer making Ortho Tri-Cyclen after Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo was introduced to the market. Instead of finding yet another pill that wouldn't cause spotting like a lower dosed pill had done to me prior to using the Ortho Tri-Cyclen, I simply had the prescription filled generically. I had no changes at all to my monthly flow on Trinessa 28, and because I am adament about taking the pill every day as prescribed, I do not have out of schedule menstruation problems.

I did gain the obligatory weight/water retention associated with hormonal birth control methods, which started while I was taking Ortho Tri-Cyclen, but other than that, I luckily haven't had any side-effects. I have been taking Trinessa 28 for over a year and a half. I am also past the 30 years old mark, and have only been taking oral contraceptives for 3.7 years.

I do not provide this information to refute anyone else's experiences with Trinessa 28 oral contraception, but to let other readers of this site know that not everyone has these reactions to this particular drug so do not panic if you are currently taking this medication. However, if you are experiencing problems and persistent side effects from taking Trinessa 28, contact your physician immediately and discontinue the use of Trinessa 28 until you speak with a health care professional.

I thought it was just ME(or that's what the DR said)
