For Birth Control "2, only because this drug did technically do its job of preventing pregnancy, but that’s the only good thing that can be said about it. I was handed this generic after moving jobs and getting a new health insurance plan. I was on Tri-Sprintec for almost 10 years with no negative side effects. Within a couple of weeks of starting Tri-Estarylla, I started feeling extremely nauseous at all times of the day and night and having terrible anxiety. For about five months, I felt sick and crazy without having any idea why. I went to three different doctors and was put on anxiety medication, but no one could figure out what was wrong with me. I came across other reviews of this drug and saw other people having similar experiences. I’ve changed generic brands a few times in the past and never thought anything of it, but just to be safe, I called my doctor and asked to be put back on Tri-Sprintec. Sure enough, I’ve felt fine ever since. Everybody is different, but for me, this stuff was awful."

For Birth Control "I know this has a load of negative reviews, but you need to realize that everyone's experience is different! I was super nervous to take Tri-Estarylla because my body has always had negative reactions to every medication ever, so you should at least give this a try and don’t let the negative reviews scare you too much. I have been on this medication for a month now. I was prescribed by Pill Club to take it because my primary care physician was trying to put me on Nexplanon, which I did not want to be on. The first 2 weeks that I was on Tri-Estarylla were really hard: constant nausea, threw up every single thing that I ate, mood swings, depression, every horrible thing you can think of. But these last 2 weeks though, I feel like I’m on no medication at all. I’m not throwing up anymore, I feel happier, everything has finally lightened up. I’ve tried loads of birth control, but none of them only took 2 weeks to stop hurting me, so I would completely recommend this."

For Acne "Started taking this for three months for acne. The first week caused horrible nausea, which was expected for the first week of taking the pill. Never had an anxiety issue in my life. This caused me nothing but anxiety for absolutely no reason. I would wake up feeling fine, and the second I get to work, everything would start crashing down, I wouldn't be able to walk down the hall without feeling like I was going to pass out. My mouth was dry all day, no matter how much water I drank. That was another trigger for the anxiety, I felt dehydrated."

For Abnormal Uterine Bleeding "Stay away from Tri-Estarylla. This medication has made me feel awful! I was unwillingly switched from Tri-Previfem to Tri-Estarylla. It’s only been a week and a half, and the side effects are horrendous. Up all night with bad cramps, back pain, dehydration, headaches, nausea, you name it. Stay away from this mess. Would not recommend this to anyone."

For Birth Control "Literally, I got pregnant right away taking this pill, which was recommended by Pill Club (sadly). I was taking Sronyx before, which unfortunately gave me a lot of breakouts, and it made me very nauseous, so I decided to give this a try, and boom, I'm pregnant. This pill did help me clear my skin, but I noticed a lack of sex drive, and I noticed I seemed more bloated and gained weight a little in only a month! Definitely, I do not recommend this pill!!"

For Birth Control "My pharmacy switched me to this medication, and I never thought twice about it, as I have been on several different BC pills with no side effects. I didn't realize my horrible medical conditions were a result of this medication until I missed starting a new pack 3 weeks ago, and my problems almost immediately went away. For the last year and a half on the medication, I had unbearable migraines all day, 7 days a week. I also experienced constant nausea and dry heaving to the point that I would have to pull off the road when driving to throw up. I would become so dizzy when I was nauseous that all I could do was lay on the bathroom floor. I became very depressed, but can't say if it was due to the medication or being miserable every day."

For Birth Control "I started taking this as a generic replacement for my original prescription 3 months into trying birth control to regulate my period. Previfem wasn’t too bad, but I did notice a lot of changes. When I got Tri-Estarylla instead, I just assumed it had a similar adjustment period. However, I’ve been on Tri-Estarylla now for two years and 3 months. Since starting this medication, I’ve become depressed, anxious, constantly nauseous, constantly tired, and constantly having headaches of varying severity. There were many days when I would avoid driving because my headaches were so bad that I had problems seeing and focusing. I have also gained 38 lbs during this time, which has not helped at all with all the other issues this drug caused. I’ve become an emotional mess with mood swings that make no sense at all. After taking it, I cry out of nowhere, for no reason at all. Everyone is different, but I do not recommend. I followed instructions to a T and never skipped a day."

For Birth Control "Today makes a week that I’ve been on this pill, these past 3 days I’ve been so nauseous, throwing up literally everything I eat or because something smells bad. I have a heightened sense of smell, everything is making me gag. My boobs are enlarged and sore. I’m going to give it a few more weeks, but if nothing changes, I’m done taking it."

For Birth Control "Just finished a pack and starting the second pack. Sadly, I will stop taking the second pack. Each pill made me so nauseous hours after I took it, and it gave me digestion issues. My stomach felt so funky, and I felt the food coming back up every night when I sleep. Also, super bloated every day due to the stomach problems. I think the estrogen (0.035 mg) is too high and messing with my stomach. I used to be on 0.02 mg of estrogen dosage, and I didn’t have any issues with it."

For Birth Control "I have to say the pro to this birth control is that I do not find myself overly emotional or unable to control my emotions. I have been on other pills that caused me to be nauseous the entire first week of the pack to the point where I would throw up, but thankfully this one did not have that same effect. A major con to this brand of birth control is my lack of libido and inability to get wet during intercourse. I went off birth control for 1 year and all of these problems went away, but decided to go back on for the sole purpose of birth control. Of course, you won’t be having babies if your body can’t create that desire anymore."

For Birth Control "I’ve had a great experience! I was previously on Junel FE, however, it made my anxiety a lot worse to the point where I couldn’t eat regularly. This one is much better, and my mood has improved. The only side effect is that it did cause me nausea when I first started."

For Birth Control "Literally had to stop taking this after 5 days because I couldn’t stop throwing up. I knew I had to wait a little for my body to adjust to it, but I can’t do the constant vomiting and nausea."

For Birth Control "I was okay for a while, but it started making me really nauseous afterwards. I changed the time I took it as well, it just messed my moods up and had really bad nausea."
