For Birth Control "This is the worst prescription I’ve ever taken. Originally, I was prescribed Tri-Sprintec, which I loved. I used it for a whole year and had no issues or side effects, clear skin, which was nice. I moved states, and my new pharmacy would not take my insurance, so they tried to help me by giving me another medication, which they offered at a discount, although I still had to come out of pocket. I’ve only been on Tri-Femynor for two months and am experiencing the worst side effects. My skin is constantly broken out and irritated. I got the worst sunburn on my face this summer. I’m constantly nauseous, suffering from bad headaches, feel anxious, depressed, and am extremely tired all the time. I would never suggest anyone take this medication."

For Birth Control "DO NOT RECOMMEND!! This is my second year taking birth control. My first prescription I took was a name brand, and I loved it. No side effects, and it helped with my skin and a few other things. Since I moved to the city in May of last year, the pharmacy I switched to didn’t take the original prescription I was on, and put me on this one, and it is awful! I’m nauseous every day, and sometimes it’s so bad that I can’t get out of bed. I get really bad headaches, which is rare for me, I’ve been gaining weight, which is also rare for me, and my skin is breaking out. Also, my mood changes 24/7. I went back to my OB to get another year supply, and I told her I didn’t want to be on this, she told me she would change my prescription. She sent me one to my pharmacy that was name brand, and I was on it for a month. I liked it and had no side effects, and then I got put back onto this one. I wouldn’t recommend anyone to take this. I would give it 0 stars if I could!"

For Birth Control "I’ve been using Tri Femynor for about 7 months now. I was on Tri-Sprintec beforehand and wanted to stay on that because my skin was clear and I had no problems using Tri-Sprintec. Tri Femynor doesn’t really do anything for my skin, but I have gotten weird cravings late at night, and lately I’ve been getting headaches a lot. My period is like 4-5 days now. I also take my pill at 6:40 a.m. every day, I try to keep the same routine. 7 months, no babies, so I will say it works and is worth a try."

For Birth Control "I’m giving it a 6/10 because you definitely will NOT get pregnant taking this medication. Even a couple months after taking this for 1 year my husband and I couldn’t get pregnant. BUT for me, it was a back and forward thing. In the first six months, I was fine. Not vomiting, headaches, etc. It wasn’t until going on 1 year my husband and I started to notice my moods had changed completely. I stopped finding interest in pretty much everything in my life. I became a couch potato and definitely never wanted to have sex, my libido had also dropped drastically. It even was hard getting out to do activities with our girls, and no matter how much I tried to lose weight, I’ve been just stuck. Not gaining anything and not losing anything. My periods were really great and right on schedule, so I can’t complain about that. It also helped with my HS except the beginning of every pack. Everyone’s body is different, so I can’t say take it or not. Just wanted to share my experience."
