For Birth Control "On Tri-Linyah, my periods are light and relatively easy. I didn’t gain a bunch of weight, but I do have a lot of uncontrollable mood swings and anger - like I’m talking rage, and it’s enough to make me hate this birth control. But keep in mind, every body is different. My skin has been super clear, but I can’t deal with the emotions!!! And neither can my relationship, lol."

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 moved to a new city and a new pharmacy. They switched my birth control from Norgestimate to this Tri-Linyah. Literally, after 3 days of taking it, I had all the symptoms I get with my period! Sore breasts, horrible, and I mean horrible cramps, and HORRIBLE mood swings! Not to mention the constant overheating! I called the pharmacy to switch it back by the 7th day."

For Birth Control "Since I've been on this pill, I've had terrible mood swings around my period, the first week of every pack, I feel nauseous and throw up usually once or twice. I have never gotten pregnant, but my boyfriend and I take extra precautions, and lately, I have horrible acne and back pain."

For Birth Control "I am finishing up my fifth packet and am switching to low ogestrel. This birth control did not work for me because I gained 10 lbs within 2 months of being on it; diet and exercise couldn't even take it off. As for my periods while on this BC, they were very regular and light. I never experienced bad mood swings."

For Birth Control "I've been on this birth control for only about 3 months. I absolutely hate it. I had spotting between each period, my mood was way out of control, and it made me hungry. I was eating everything in sight, even when I was button-popping full, I wanted more. I'd be full, and my stomach would still grumble. I gained 15 pounds on this even though I'm pretty active and go to the gym 3-4 times a week. Every time I was on the placebo pills, I swear I'd lose 5 pounds immediately, within two days. I have been off of it for 2 weeks now, and I feel like I eat normally again. It also gave me really bad acne. I was blessed with very good skin and barely got pimples. My forehead and chin are now covered in acne because of this birth control."

For Birth Control "I've taken this pill for 3 years. No pregnancies, but 30 pounds of weight gain and insane mood swings. The only reason I'm still on it is because it makes my period incredibly regular, unlike other pills I've tried, but not any lighter and still some occasional cramping. I'm thinking of changing at my yearly appointment or going off of birth control entirely, but I really need to weigh my options. Pills are different for everyone, and I would still recommend it."

For Birth Control "I have been on Ortho Tri-Cyclen for about 14 years, with no issues, no pregnancies. When I got a prescription for it, the pharmacist suggested Tri-Linyah, which is supposed to be the generic version, and because it was free opposed to OTC, which would have been $60. Hesitant, I agreed to try it out, and she stated that if I had any issues, I could always switch back. Not even 3 months in, and I'm pregnant."

For Acne "Took Tri-Linyah for 3 years (about 5 years ago). The reason I took it was only to clear my skin! After I stopped using it, my skin was the worst it’s ever been. I had breakouts all over my face as well as my neck and jawline. I didn’t want to go back on birth control, thinking that was the root cause. For three years, I tried to clear my skin by eating healthier, trying out different skin care brands/products, getting prescription creams, or going more natural (no makeup). Generally, a lot of research was done. In the end, nothing worked. Every time my period came around, all my efforts to keep my skin clear disappeared. The hormonal acne was no joke. I realized nothing would work because my natural body was out of balance. I decided to go back on birth control after trying out a different prescribed cream. Currently, it’s been two weeks since I started the cream and one week since I started taking birth control. My skin is clearing up fast, besides the ones on my jawline."

For Endometriosis "Pros: Before Tri-Linyah, my period was super irregular, to the point that the shortest time between periods was 2 weeks and the longest was a little over 2 months. With this birth control, my period comes exactly every 28 days. I also had hormonal acne before taking this pill, but since being on it, the only time I break out is the week before my period, but nothing bad, just your normal pimple. I am thankful that I get 3 months' worth before I need to go refill again. Cons: I get super emotional, but it’s whatever. The worst is that I get really intense cravings and I ended up gaining weight."

For Abnormal Uterine Bleeding "When I first started taking the pills, they were working amazing! Then all of a sudden, when I reached the third month of taking them, I started a period, which has been going on for about a month now!"

For Birth Control "On Tri-Linyah, I’ve experienced extreme mood swings and irritability. I feel like my relationship suffered greatly because of this. I was switched to this pill about 3 months ago when I switched pharmacies. I used to be on Ortho Tri-Cyclen. I guess this is the generic form. I just put two and two together and realized my birth control could be contributing to my negative feelings. I stopped it about a week ago and feel so much better."

For Birth Control "Please do not use this birth control, Tri-Linyah. Just after being on it for one month, I have gained over 20 pounds. It helped with acne, kind of, but not much at all. I've been incredibly moody and self-conscious because of this rapid weight gain."

For Acne "I have been taking Tri-Linyah for a few months. Prior to this pill, I had completely clear skin and horrible periods! Now it's the opposite, my face is covered in acne, but my periods are amazing. I'm kind of disappointed about the fact I have to choose clear skin over painless periods."

For Acne "I have been taking Tri-Linyah for a year now. When I first started the pill, I threw up the first few days (which is to be expected), and the following few months, I had terrible acne. I knew that it would take around six months for my body to adjust, so I gave it time, and I’m so glad I did. The acne slowly became less and less, and now it’s very rare that I ever have a breakout. It keeps my skin under control very well. Also, my period is much more bearable, and I know the exact day that it comes now. My only complaint is that I still have very awful cramps the first and second day of my period. But it’s controlled everything else, and I haven’t gotten pregnant! So it’s a win in my book. Don’t give up on it :)"

For Abnormal Uterine Bleeding "I've switched between different generic versions of Ortho Tri-Cyclen, and this is not my favorite. I have terrible cystic acne, and it did help a lot with that. But it did nothing at all for my periods. My periods without birth control caused me to be in a haze, nausea, vomiting, terrible cramping, and heavy bleeding. With Tri-Linyah, it was mostly the same! The other generic pills I tried at least eased my periods so that they were bearable. On Tri-Linyah, I also didn't know what to expect, some periods would be longer, start at different times, or be lighter/heavier. I'm not sure how different generic medications of the same type can really be, but I noticed this one was definitely different."

For Birth Control "I've been taking this birth control, Tri-Linyah, for about a year, and it's completely cleared up my acne, and I used to get severe cramps, and I have not gotten them at all since. The only downside is I have awful mood swings, and my emotions have been up a wall. I also have had yeast infections from this, and I've experienced two-week periods multiple times. I'd say it's worth it for the most part, though."

For Acne "I have been on this pill, Tri-Linyah, for almost 3 months, but no longer because I could not bear it. The side effects I had were I went from no acne to moderate acne, keeping the same exact skin routine and diet. My period was also heavier. At least it didn’t cause water retention."

For Birth Control "I’ve been taking it so far for about 4 months, and it’s been doing really good for regulating my periods and making my cramps less painful. I have started to get really bad cystic acne, though, that progressively gets worse as time goes by ever since I’ve been on it, which is kind of weird because, if anything, it should be doing the opposite."

For Acne "I just started taking this. I am now on week 4, and it is bittersweet so far. My period has been abnormal (about 2 years without a period), and my doc prescribed this pill to me. It's 'sweet' because I got my period. Not too light and not too heavy. However, there are a lot of 'bitter' sides. For 1 week, I felt really nauseous. Also, I barely had acne on my face before, but after taking these pills, I developed small acne all over. It looks like chickenpox all over my face. I will continue to try this for 2 more months. If the problems persist, I'm going to ask the doc to prescribe me something else."

For Acne "I've been taking this contraceptive in order to get onto Accutane, and I regret it. Prior to taking this pill, I had a normal period and knew exactly when it would start and end. My cycle would last between 6-7 days. My period now lasts for about 2 weeks. Would not recommend."

For Birth Control "For acne, it clears it up. It’s great for everything else, like preventing pregnancy and regulating your period. The only downside to this stuff is that it thinned out my perineum, so sex was painful in certain positions, but I’m still looking for a better pill to keep my period regulated."

For Birth Control "I've been on birth control pills since I was 16 (I'm 22 now), so I'm pretty versed and have tried many brands. For the past few years, I've been taking Tri-Sprintec and loved it... but for whatever reason, it was switched to Tri-Linyah, and I'm only 10 days in and have been super agitated and on edge. I have anxiety already, but have had good control on it, and anxiety attacks/abnormal anxiousness have been few and far between. But ever since starting this brand, I am easily triggered, even beyond my normal anxiety triggers. I've also had a marked increase in my HR and have had chest tightness and felt like I couldn't take a deep breath or oxygen just wasn't getting into my lungs. I'm a nursing student, so my life is high stress, but it has been even more so the past 10 days. I literally was full body shaking and went into a panic attack while feeding a patient. I'm definitely switching back to my old brand because this is crazy."

For Birth Control "I've been taking this contraceptive for about a year now, and I LOVE it. My periods are still the same length (about a week), but they're so much lighter. Before Tri-Linyah, I had the worst period pains, and now my periods are a breeze. As far as mood swings, I don't see a change in my moods other than usual. Also, I haven't gained several pounds because of it. Plus, NO BABIES! Keep in mind it does have different effects on different people."

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."
