For Birth Control "I've been on Tri-Linyah for about a year and a half now, and for the first year, I had no symptoms at all. My skin got better, no weight gain. But these past six months have been terrible. I've had EXTREME mood swings-like fine one hour and the next, I'm full of anger and sadness. I've been crying over the simplest things and getting anxious and sad before bedtime. I look forward to my period week because I know I'll feel like myself again for that week. It's been making my relationships struggle, and I'm about to quit it because the side effects definitely aren't worth it."

For Birth Control "I have been on Tri-Linyah two separate times, and both times I had very bad results. Everyone is different, but for me it gave me breakouts, headaches, nausea, cramps, breasts are super tender, my periods are super painful, and my anxiety and depression have gotten so much worse over the past two months I’ve been back on this pill. It seems like I’m having an anxiety attack almost every night, and I can’t live like this anymore. I’m calling my doctor tomorrow to get it switched to something different. I hope y’all had a better experience than I did. Never going back to this pill ever again!!"

For Birth Control "I have been on this pill for 10 days, purposely did not take it yesterday and already feel better today. I have had a headache every day on this pill, sensitivity to light, nausea, and heart palpitations. Then the anxiety started setting in, and I felt detached from reality. I have a lot of stress in my life but have always been able to manage it. I almost passed out while driving and went to the ER and have had every test known to man, and everything is normal. Yesterday I had a panic attack. I have never had symptoms of anxiety or depression apart from normal stress and a bit of sadness after giving birth to my kids. I know everyone's body reacts differently, but it took me several days to even consider this could be my birth control."

For Birth Control "I already have depression, but this birth control pill Tri-Linyah made it so much worse. My anxiety was through the roof, I had hallucinations in mirrors/reflective things, suicidal thoughts... hated it. Makes me fear getting back on birth control."

For Acne "Horrible!!! This birth control pill caused me to have an upset stomach every day. Then came the mood swings and emotional episodes. And it also caused me to have severe anxiety attacks, so I quit taking it."

For Birth Control "I started on a Sunday night around 11 p.m. before bed. I woke up Monday morning with little heart palpitations every so often. Thought it was normal because I just stopped drinking soda and thought I was having bad withdrawals. Kept on the pill 'til Wednesday and didn’t take it that night because my heart palpitations got so bad. I also started getting way overemotional for little things, and my anxiety was skyrocketing. Called my doctor Thursday and told them about my heart palpitations, and they just prescribed me another pill, no big deal, I guess. I am obese but have never had heart palpitations for this long and often, only when I have too much caffeine. I had to force myself to eat because I didn’t have an appetite anymore. I took my blood sugar and it was normal, took my pulse and it was normal. I didn’t know what was going on. Later on Thursday night, I took my blood pressure and it was sky-high (heart palpitations)! Never had a problem before. Never again with Tri-Linyah."

For Birth Control "Everything was fine for about a year on Tri-Linyah. I switched from another brand that made me gain about 20 pounds, the weight came off within a month of starting this new pill. Then last month I started getting extremely bad stomach aches, nausea, and bloating. As soon as I started taking the placebo pills during my period week, all the symptoms went away. They started again this month and have been just as bad. I also get extremely anxious at night and have sad thoughts. It does do a great job of regulating my periods and has the timing down to the hour."
