For Birth Control "This Tri-Lo-Estarylla is the only option that I have tried as an alternative to Tri Lo Sprintec (which caused horrible cystic acne). I had taken TLS before without problems, but sometime in January, after I had taken Trinessa Lo for one month and got back on TLS, my skin began getting oilier, and the cystic acne started. I had terrible acne for much of spring, didn't know why I did, but blamed it on the stress of school. Finally, after experimenting by going on Lutera (and acne going away), I knew that TLS was the cause. I went to an online prescriber and got on Tri Lo Estarylla, and besides a little bit of a heavier period than normal, there are NO symptoms whatsoever. So thankful for this generic."

For Birth Control "I have been on this birth control for almost two months now. The first month I had no symptoms, but this second month I have begun to have cystic acne on my face and back. I have never broken out on my back, so it is definitely due to this pill. I also have very mild cramps all throughout the month."

For Birth Control "(Birth control user for 6 years) Formerly prescribed Tri-Sprintec and Ortho Tri-Cyclen. My doctor recently switched me to Tri-Lo-Estarylla. I thought nothing of it since my body usually handles these changes well... but I have never had such bad cystic acne in my life. My jaw is covered in cystic acne, and my neck is covered in pimples. My mood is about the same as before. It has been effective in preventing pregnancy. But the acne this has caused is awful."

For Birth Control "I started using this to help regulate my extremely irregular periods. I've been using it for a little over three months now. As for side effects, I've been breaking out, which rarely happens to me. I've also been experiencing a lot of mood swings. However, the good news is that my periods are now light, less painful, and only last a couple of days. My doctor mentioned that it is a low-dosage birth control and does not work well as a contraceptive. However, I've seen many people saying that low-dosage works just as well as any other and that they use this birth control as a contraceptive, and it works. So, that has left me confused."
