"The Ortho Tri-Cyclen worked great for 15 years. Now discontinued, very upsetting. On Tri-Previfem for 1 month now. The verdict is still out. Anyone had any good luck with a generic?"

"Yes it did clear my acne but the hair loss, weight gain (15lb over the year), and depression were not worth it. I did not feel like myself at all. Would not recommend."

"Used for a month or two. Gave me terrible migraines daily, along with irritability and nausea. I didn’t notice any difference in my acne."

"This was the only thing that worked for my adult acne. It kept my skin relatively clear, especially in the chin area, where I otherwise would get cystic acne during certain weeks of my cycle."
