Tri-nessa: Stopping Birth Control/side Effects
Posted: 10-18-07 08:09am

Hi.
I have been taking TriNessa for a couple
of years and I have no felt like myself
since I started taking it. (Fatigue,
weight gain-not much like 15 pounds, major
decreased sex drive, etc.). I have
decided to quit my BC. Plus, I am now
starting a medicine called Topamax, which
reduces the effectiveness of BC.
I have read many horror stories about
TriNessa and stories about quitting BC.
Many women have complained about hair
loss.
Has anyone had this happen to them?
Has anyone else taken Trinessa and had a
problem with it?
I quite my BC about 5 days ago and I don't
know why, but I have more energy and I
feel like my sex drive is coming back.
(Good for my husband).
I would love to hear about anyone else's
experience with stopping BC, problems/side
effects with BC, taking TriNessa.
Thanks.

Trinessa And Increased Anxiety/panic Attacks
Posted: 10-21-07 01:17am

Hi there,
I have been taking trinessa for the last 3
or 4 years, and before that another
generic of Ortho Tricyclin. I have not
noticed weight gain, or fatigue but I have
had increased anxiety and a few panic
attacks.
I have begun to believe that my panic
attacks are caused by the pill. I only
began getting them when I started using BC
pills.
I am going to do an experiment and stop
for a while to see what happens. I have
never liked the idea of taking artificial
hormones. And this is as good a time as
any to stop.
I don't know if anyone else has found the
same side effects, I would be interested
to know if anyone has.
Cheers.

If you didn't lose hair while on the pill,
you won't lose it from going off the pill.
Have you tried any other pills? You might
find another that works perfectly for you.
I had really similar side effects from the
mirena IUD, but everyone reacts
differently to everything.

Hair Loss When Taking Trinessa
Posted: 12-20-07 18:39pm

I am not stressed or anything.I thought it
was just normal shedding but I have
experienced a significant amount of
hairloss while taking this prescription
which makes me very upset. I went to the
gyno and spoke to her about it and she was
unaware of that being a side effect. But,
I am glad that I was not crazy in thinking
that this was the culprit. I have been
taking it for two mths and no other drugs.
I am wondering if all BC does this,
because I am going to stop taking this
generic brand after it runs out this
mth...Any thoughts?

I think hair loss is caused by excessive
androgens? If so, other bc's might work
just fine since the amount of androgen
varies by pill.

No, they shouldn't all have that effect.
It's actually pretty rare, so if you
switch you should be ok, but it's all up
to your body.

Trinessa And Me.

i have just realized that trinessa has
made me depressed. i got an email from my
bestfriend and i just started crying
because i was remembering all of the fun
times and things i used to love that i
have lost interest in.
i cried and i told her that something was
wrong with me. and i noticed it started to
happen after my birthday which was in
march. i started taking trinessa in april.
i couldnt figure out why i wanted to take
myself away from fun things, people i
love. ive always been high spirited. and
ive noticed ive been faking it cause i
dont know how to tell someone i just feel
so sad. after i sent her that email i just
tried to figure out what has changed since
the beginning of the year. and bam! i
remembered that when i was about to start
trinessa i googled it and read about girls
getting depresed. and i didnt think it
would happen to me. and now that i'm
reading about hairloss my mom has
complained about that. i think i'm finally
happy that ive figured out whats been
making me feel so terrible.

Actually I just started taking Ortho Tri
Cyclen Lo because of the mood problems I
was having on Tri Nessa. Before I got my
last period I did seem to have a great
amount of discharge aswell.. Everything
seems to be fine now that I've changed. So
maybe it is the pill.

I thought it could have been a yeast
infection also but I didn't have any of
the itching or symptoms I read either.
Then my period came and I've been fine. I
switched to Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo and it's
$30 a month!! I was like this better
work!! Cause there's no generic the woman
at the pharmacy said.

oh! lol then yeah. From all the ads i'm
seeing on this site looks like Ortho
Tri-Cyclen is the way to go. I don't
think I've ever noticed them till now.

Well, I wouldn't trust the ads, it's all
just money. But if it works for you,
great! Stick with it!!
It takes quite a few years for the generic
forms come out, the patent has to expire
before other companies can replicate it.

Yeah, you should generally give any new
birth control for 3 months before you give
up on it, unless the side effects are
really bad.
