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 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 "I have been on this pill and already found out I was pregnant literally. After being on another one for well over a year, CVS switch me over to this useless one. I have problems with spotting so my other brand was perfect for me and help clear up my skin. I been on this pill for not even two months I have two dark patches on my face next to my mouth and on my chin. Not only that I just found out I was pregnant when I been taking this damn pill the entire time. Just stay away from this pill period"

For Birth Control "I was originally on Tri-Sprintec for 8 months before I was switched to Tri-Estarylla because the pharmacy I went to didn't have Tri-Sprintec. I've been on Tri-Estarylla for about 2 months now and it's been awful. I've noticed a complete decline in my mental health; extremely exhausted, have no energy, am moody and have constant mood swings, am stressed, easily irritable, and the list goes on. I feel depressed and miserable, I haven't been able to eat well, and I don't feel capable of doing things I used to be able to do fine. I'm a student and I have no motivation to go to classes or do my work, so my grades are dropping. Everything that could go wrong has gone wrong. I have never felt this way ever, and I was completely fine on Tri-Sprintec. The only benefits I've gotten are I'm free of pregnancy and it's been treating my acne, but these are not worth the complete toll it has taken on my mental health."

For Birth Control "I was on Tri-Estarylla for over a year. It was my first birth control. I am a high-testosterone person with high iron count as well. Before taking Tri-Estarylla I had issues with acne, (chest and cystic acne on my back and cheeks) fatigue, mood swings, body hair, and fluctuating weight. My periods were light, 4 days, and I never had cramps. After taking Tri-Estarylla, my acne cleared up and my facial and chest hair virtually disappeared. However my period became heavier, 7 days, and I experienced cramping. The biggest concern I had was that I gained 30 lbs in a year. Before BC I never had problems with losing weight when necessary but this post-BC weight is stubborn. Also, I experience intense anxiety episodes where I didn't before. I have more energy but no motivation. Birth control-wise, I've never had a pregnancy scare, despite the fact that I do get lazy with the timing of my medication, but that's on me. I just wanted to share my experiences with side effects. Best of luck to y'all!"

For Birth Control "I like that I didn’t get pregnant, didn’t gain weight, and had no acne. However I have lost any spark or motivation for life that I used to have, and lowkey am depressed and just want to give up. Besides that I’m thriving I guess- I’m switching."

For Abnormal Uterine Bleeding "I was on this pill for three years!! The first two were great!! It has completely helped my heavy ten day period turn into only three days. It was great for my acne as well!! I loved it for the longest time till about a year ago it stopped working as well. I would have my period two weeks early and it would be super heavy and last ten days again. My acne would be so bad that I would be embarrassed to go out. I never was depressed before but this past year I found myself being way more emotional than normal. This week I decided to take a chance and switch medicines so I am now onto a new journey"

For Acne "I have been using this birth control for around 9 months primarily for hormonal acne along with spironolactone. It’s not the best at clearing up the skin as I still get pretty persistent acne on my cheeks and jaw. I have not had any issues with my period while using this and have even noticed a lighter flow and fewer cramps which is always a plus. However, I have experienced ridiculous mood swings that are completely unprovoked. Somedays I will be in a terrible mood for no reason or my emotions will fluctuate heavily. This is the biggest reason why I will be looking to try an alternative brand. I have been using birth control pills for 8 years and I have noticed that this particular brand does not sit well with me in terms of emotional well-being."

For Acne "Absolutely HORRIBLE! My pharmacy switched me over from Tri-Pravafram, which was working very well for me. I was told this medication was "exactly the same" as the Tri-P...Lies. Within one week, I had had two acne cysts near my mouth. This never happened to me. Two weeks later, my entire face was covered in cysts and painful whiteheads..my forehead and chin/jawline took the worst beating. I didn't really connect the medication to my issue since the pharmacist had assured me this drug was identical to what I was on before until about 3 months later. I switched pharmacies, and got on Tri-Sprintec and everything cleared up within a month."

For Birth Control "I've been on this for 6-7 months now. It's been working great for me. I haven't had any negative side effects at all. It's made my cycle more regular. My only complaint is that I wish it had shortened my period. I originally got on this for acne, but I really don't think it helped much with clearing up my skin. I still get breakouts sometimes around my period."

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 & I plan on talking to my Dr 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 stops. 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 "My experience with this drug has actually been pretty good. I did have mild acne breakouts and some bloating and water weight gain. These all went away pretty quickly, though. The only major side effect I've had is significant bleeding between periods. However, I had fewer and lighter cramps and no ovarian pain like I dealt with before, and no depression/mood swings or any of the other side effects that other users have experienced."

For Birth Control "The past 3 months I was switched onto Tri Estarylla from Tri Sprintec for what reason I still don't know. But Tri estarylla was awful for me. Bad cramps, severe weight gain [well water retention I've come to find out..].that last month was so awful I cried a lot, was very emotional feeling of disconnect, because of weight gain and I was not very happy. This experience was total 180 from Tri Sprintec."

For Birth Control "So I know everyone (including me) will end up scrolling down and be reading the comments. REMEMBER THAT EVERY WOMANS BODY IS DIFFERENT AND WILL HAVE AN DIFFERENT EXPERIENCE!! As for me, I’ve always had painful periods. And was irregular ever since I started. My cycles would range from 21-50 and I honestly thought I had a real issue and I wouldn’t be able to get it fixed. I’ve tried several natural remedies since I usually don’t like using chemicals and “man made” medicines. So for my experience, the first 3 months were terrible for me. Irregular spotting, acne breakouts (although my skin has always had acne) PMS and mood swings. I was getting frustrated with it and was even tempted to stop taking it. After the third month, everything seemed to fall in place. My periods were able to regulate itself. Although my periods will be just as painful time to time as I was before. But I found Tri-Estarylla birth control worth it. Also being my first one."

For Birth Control "I started taking this as a generic replacement for my original prescription 3 months into me 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, constantly having headaches of varying severity. There were many days that 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 no where, 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 "Ortho Tri Cyclen Lo was discontinued, so 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 everyday. Prior my health, acne, bleeding were all normal. Now, I was bleeding randomly, would get my period early and spot, 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 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 your having similar symptoms, they probably won’t go away."

For Birth Control "I was switched onto Tri Estarylla from Tri Sprintec (which was generic for Tri-Previfem) for whatever reason. The pharmacy didn't tell me but I assumed it was a rebrand and the same thing as Tri Sprintec but it is NOT the same. Tri Estarylla has been awful for me. Very depressed, withdrawn, lethargic, and severe weight gain, like 20 pounds weight gain. The weight gain adds to the depression too. And I eat fairly healthy and exercise 5-6 times a week but the weight kept going on no matter what I did. I don't like this pill and I have requested my doctor and pharmacy to make a note to never replace Tri-Sprintec with this Tri-Estarylla ever again. This pill prevented pregnancy and lightened my period but I am so unhappy with the weight gain and tiredness I experienced. I get to go back on Tri-Sprintec now thankfully."

For Abnormal Uterine Bleeding "I’ve always had heavy cycles. I was on Tri-Sprintec (think that’s how it’s spelled) in 2015.. that shortened my period and cleared my skin. Sex drive was eh ok I guess anyway. I got on birth control after having my son and was on depo but bled the entire year, yes year. So I tried the pill.. It’s been 3 months and my cycle is just like it was before I got pregnant, heavy and painful and 7-9 days and with spotting in between. (s/o to always discreet for handling the first 5 days flow) I’ll update in 3 more months to see if that changes but so far nothing special.. not pregnant though.."

For Birth Control "I was on Tri-Sprintec which worked really great for me for a year and was switched, without being informed, to the generic Tri-Linyah which gave me awful migraines. Then again, without being informed, was switched to Tri-Estarylla. It was no big deal at first, but then I started experiencing swelling in my mouth/gums after the first week. Nothing else in my daily life/diet had changed so I Googled the symptoms and read that it could be due to the hormonal changes. Then I started experiencing breakthrough bleeding like I was having a light period. This was on the second week of my first pack. I called the pharmacy and asked if I could switch back to the Tri-Sprintec and told them I would just pay the difference for what worked for me instead of just getting stuck with what insurance would cover. I also asked that I be informed anytime my medications switch. They said it was the same thing, but there must be something different that caused my side effects. Not sure how effective as BC."

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 "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 is 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 that 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 recommended this to anyone."

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 everyday."

For Birth Control "I didn’t like this pill. I stayed on it a full 3 months but it made me crazy. The week before my period I became even more crazy, and depressed and anxious. Pretty much sad everyday. Then I started getting my period the last week of my active pill and acne all over my chin. Switched pills."

For Birth Control "Honestly shocked to see all of these negative reviews. The only reason I stopped taking it was because I got tired of taking a pill every day and it make me lethargic. I have had HORRIBLE experiences with BC pills in the past and this was the first one that worked for me. My gyno gave me this one because I have what looks to be PCOS and low estrogen so he wanted to put me on something that gave me more estrogen than progesterone. I really think that's the kicker if you want to go on this, if you already have super high estrogen this might not be awesome for you. If you're in the position to I would suggest getting a blood test with your doctor just to see where your levels are at because that helped me so much. I also had terrible side effects to Loloestrin Fe if that helps."

For Birth Control "Contrary to the negative reviews on this birth control, I actually had a pretty positive experience. I had great skin, my periods were very regulated and short, I had some weight gain (I am skinny and did want to gain weight, so if you don't want weight gain I wouldn't suggest this). I think I only experienced mood swings during the first few months of taking this. I also experienced some migraines but those only lasted 2-3 months as well. I was always bloated, but I'm not sure if that was due to the birth control or if it was just my diet. The only other thing I didn't like was that this gave me a very low sex drive. I usually had a higher sex drive the week of the sugar pills, so I assume this is because of the birth control."
