For Birth Control "Was on this for two and a half weeks. I became an absolute emotional wreck. Also, I bled very heavily for two weeks straight. I ended up having to go to the ER for this week. Became very lightheaded. Never experienced this before and will never take this again."

For Birth Control "I've been on this medication for about two weeks. Since starting, I've had very increased anxiety, a dull headache every day in my temples, and restless sleep, resulting in extreme fatigue. The medication has not had any impact on my very moderate acne. I have noticed some water retention and bloating as well. I'm going to finish the month out, but the side effects I've experienced so far are not at all worth continuing to take this. I am so tired on a daily basis that I can barely function due to the inability to sleep soundly, even when taking a sleep aid."

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 Acne "I've been on this birth control for my acne. And my experience has been really bad. Within the first couple of days, my forehead has broken out terribly, there are a ton of little bumps across it. I usually never get pimples on my forehead. I started also breaking out around my mouth. I hardly get acne there, maybe a little. My jaw breaks out really bad. This gave me major anxiety to be in public. I hate going out on dates because of my face. Although my face looks terrible, it kind of helped clear up my shoulders and chest. It definitely made my chest break out more but slowly cleared up. But, my face being so bad, I am now switching to the big guns of acne control. Can't wait to see those results."

For Birth Control "Switched from the generic form of Junel 1/20 (was on it for 6 months). I've been on Tri-Estarylla for about 2 months now. So far, no significant side effects besides bloating and weight gain (that could be a new relationship though, lol). Junel 1/20 gave me intense side effects such as acne/rash, depression, mood swings, loss of sex drive, bloating 24/7, and breakthrough bleeding for 2 out of 4 weeks a month. With Tri-Estarylla, my period is heavier though and lasts 4 days mid-placebo pills with cramps starting the last week of active pills all the way through the end of the placebo week. Haven't seen much improvement in acne, but I haven't been on it for too long to see that. My sex drive has improved, and I haven't had any breakthrough bleeding or mood swings. My discharge is much heavier/thicker, but it's white and not dark brown like with my last birth control. No pregnancy scares, and this is the only form of birth control my partner and I use."

For Birth Control "I had been taking Tri-Previfem for a few months and had no issues with it. I went to CVS and was given Tri-Estarylla, didn’t know much about it, so I decided to give it a try. Well…. I have a desk job and have never had any issues with my legs. While yes, I understand that your body can change, it’s awfully strange that I am retaining fluid starting below my knees down to my ankles. They swell so bad, and I plan on talking to my doctor about this. I haven’t had any issues with any other birth control. More recently, my cycles are regular and last 3 maybe 5 days, then stop. I don’t have bad cramps. Since taking Tri-Estarylla, I’m on day 7 and still bleeding. Some days it’s light (use a panty liner), then BOOM I need to put a pad back on! Lastly, certain food smells make me gag, and nope I’m not pregnant. Again, none of this is normal for me. I have a 90-day supply, currently on the first pack, and will not be continuing this!"

For Birth Control "So I’m not one to write a review about medicine or anything really, but I had to share this. I started this medication in May, and before I started it, I had flawless skin, I never ever broke out. As soon as I began taking it, I broke out with cysts. I continued to take it in hopes of my body regulating to it. Nope, I was left with cystic acne all over my cheeks. To make matters worse, I had my wedding in a few months. I was getting about 5 painful cysts a week on this birth control. I have been off of this medication, and my skin cleared up. I paid a lot of money and made many trips to the derm to finally make my skin look normal. I wouldn’t recommend it, everyone’s skin is different, but I had a horrible experience."

For Birth Control "I have anxiety and OCD, and the past two birth controls I tried had made my mental health worse, so I specifically asked my OBGYN for a birth control that wouldn’t affect me in that way. Tri-Estarylla has been great so far. I have noticed that my anxiety amps up before my period, but I’ve always dealt with that due to PMS. This has been the first birth control that I do not want to stop taking, and it has kept me feeling normal. I do experience cramps still while using this, but ibuprofen makes them disappear instantly."

For Birth Control "I have been on this pill for a month now, & the only thing I can say is I've had sore breasts! I was extremely nervous to start it after seeing all of the negative reviews, but in the end, it works different for everybody! I've kept my sex drive, which is what a lot of reviews said that they lost. I truly feel like I am on no medication at all!"

For Birth Control "I get my pills delivered through a company called Nurx. For 3 years, they have been sending me Tri Sprintec, which is the same pill brand I was taking prior to that service. I loved it. Been on it for at least 5 years. Never had an issue, then all of a sudden, they started sending me this kind. And guess what? I missed my period and just found out I’m pregnant. I’m very good at taking my pills at the same time each day, and I’ve managed to get through 33 years of life without a single pregnancy scare. Something isn’t right, and if you don’t want to get pregnant, I recommend you avoid this generic option. I only took this for 1 month as the switch just happened, and it failed. BIG TIME."

For Acne "I've only been using it for a month, but it's been very interesting. I've also never taken birth control before, but decided to when my period pain, PMS, and irregular cycles got out of hand. Taking this medication has actually put me in a better mood and increased my libido. I do feel pretty fatigued from the initial start, though."

For Acne "I'm on my 2nd pack. I am mainly on birth control to clear my skin. Since I have started, my acne on my face has gotten so much worse, especially around my mouth and chin. Cheeks are worse too. Trying to be patient because I've read it can take 3+ months to clear acne. It's just a little discouraging. I will say, I haven't gained weight or had breakthrough bleeding!"

For Birth Control "Nurx switched me from Tri-Lo Sprintec to this Tri-Estarylla. Now, 5 months in, and each month I sink deeper into low energy and am constantly hungry. I know to take vitamin D and B to help fend off side effects, but this pill is winning. Now, I'm noticing the depression, having fits of irritability, and I ache all the time. I'm 36, and the last time I went through this mood, I was on another generic about 10 years ago. Generics changing the 'inactive' ingredients are just as important as the hormones."

For Birth Control "I was on this birth control after trying several different ones. I wanted something to not make me gain weight and just protect me from pregnancy. On the placebo pills, I did have somewhat cramping, and I continued to spot after a few days starting on the new pack of active pills, which I did not like. Other than that, this is a great birth control."

For Birth Control "I've been on it for about 6 months. I had bad mood swings during the first week and a half, but after that, it definitely helped me balance out my emotions and my weight. I had to get off of it for two weeks because I ran out, but after getting off, I felt terrible. I lost weight and my appetite, but I'm back on it, and again, I'm a week and a half in, and I don't feel nearly as bad as I did when I first started. I feel so much better, but what works for me might not work for you."

For Birth Control "After being off birth control for 2 years, I decided to go back on the pill. I used to take Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo, and I loved the packaging for this BC, and my side effects were minimal. After I saw it was discontinued, I was upset. I got prescribed Estarylla as a generic version, and it’s horrible. My side effects are mood swings, fatigue, and spotting that leads to legit bleeding for 2 weeks... nope, never again. Finally, after 2 months, I’m switching."

For Birth Control "Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo was discontinued, so I tried this Tri-Estarylla. I kept giving it a chance, thinking that my body needed to adjust. It got worse, terrible headaches that lasted all day and every day. Prior, my health, acne, and bleeding were all normal. Now, I was bleeding randomly, getting my period early and spotting, terrible cramps along with heavy bleeding every other month. So heavy that I thought I was miscarrying. I didn’t realize why I was lacking motivation initially. I was bloated not only during my period but throughout the entire month. The last straw was the huge, painful pimples all over my face, near my chin, jawline, cheeks, hairline, and small whiteheads on my back and chest that left scars. This was it, I couldn’t even stand to look in the mirror anymore without disgust. This shouldn’t be on the market. Truly, the headaches alone kept me from living and enjoying my life. Get off this, don’t try. If you’re having similar symptoms, they probably won’t go away."

For Birth Control "I took this pill for 3 months because the pill club switched me to it. The first month was fine, nothing that I can think of had changed. But the second month, 2-4 days before my period, I got very bad anxiety and depression to the point I was having muscle spasms in my body. I couldn’t sleep and cried all the time. I didn’t know what was happening. After my period, it slowly started getting better. Then the third month, same thing, 2-4 days before my period, bad anxiety and depression. I stopped taking it right away when I saw all the reviews of others experiencing the same as me."

For Birth Control "I only took this medication for two weeks before it drove me so crazy I had to get off of it. It was my first-ever birth control, and within four days, I was already exhausted, breaking out like crazy, experiencing bad cramping, and my depressive symptoms that I had been doing well with for months came back full force. My boyfriend thought I was having a breakdown, I was so emotional and moody. I had zero motivation to do anything and no attention span. Definitely not worth it. Do a different generic or a brand name."

For Birth Control "I switched from my old birth control to a new one because my body got used to the pill. I got stuck on this one, and after reading reviews, I was so scared. I thought I was going to get pregnant within the first week, cry 24/7, and be in pain. It wasn't like that at all. The first two weeks to a month were the hardest. I had breast aches that hurt pretty bad (only lasted a week), and I had a couple of days of headaches. My cramps are really bad on the pill, but I'm on naproxen to help with those. My period still comes, and it was a normal flow. All is good so far, just over 2 months in, and as long as you’re taking them correctly and don't miss a pill, you have nothing to worry about. Oh! I was also nervous about acne because I never really break out badly. My acne is still normal, but I haven't gotten cystic acne or anything from this pill! The only bad sides I would say are: cramping, breast pain (only when you start the pill), and I cry more often (more sensitive)."

For Birth Control "I haven't had any problems on this birth control. I have gained weight, but I don't know if that is related to the birth control since they usually change them up depending on pharmacies, but lately, it has been Tri-Estarylla. I've never had any mood swings or loss of sex drive from this! I've also never had any abnormal bleeding."

For Birth Control "First the positives. I had great skin while taking this. Usually, I get a zit or two either before or during my period, but I did not have that while on this. Also, it really mitigated my PMS, which is saying a lot because I've been diagnosed with PMDD. On the other hand, my libido was essentially nonexistent unless I was on my period, which (surprise) is when you're not taking the pill for seven days. I had very little desire for sex while taking this, and I honestly believed at various points that I was asexual."

For Birth Control "I’ve been using this birth control for about 4 months now. My doctor switched my prescription to Tri-Estarylla because I started to cramp with my other birth control. Worst experience ever. My depression and anxiety are at an all-time high. Before using this medication, I never struggled with depression and was a very happy person. Now I struggle to even get out of bed most days. My brain feels cloudy, and I find myself having suicidal thoughts often. My mood swings are out of control, and my sex drive is gone. My periods are heavy as well. The only good thing from this birth control is that I haven’t gotten pregnant. I know the experience is different for everyone, but after reading other reviews from women who are experiencing the same symptoms, I know for a fact that it’s the birth control that’s causing all of this. I wouldn’t recommend this to anyone."

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 "My gyno put in an Ortho Tri-Cyclen prescription for me at CVS, and they gave me Tri-Estarylla instead. Fine. I've taken Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo, Ortho Tri-Cyclen, Trinessa, and Tri-Sprintec and had no issues with adult acne. I took it for about a week and a half, and it was awful. The first week it was okay, but the second week... all hell broke loose. I do struggle with anxiety, which does rear its ugly head now and again, but this was bad. Really, really bad. I went through a very rough patch at the beginning of 2016 with bad insomnia and rumination. Last week, it came back-mood swings, crying, emotional outbursts, little sleep, rumination, etc. I stopped taking it and now feel normal."
