TriNessa Lo and Nausea: What Users Say

For Birth Control "First of all, I would say that you should take these reviews with a grain of salt. There are so many different experiences that people have had on TriNessa Lo that just reading about the prescription you just picked up is basically pointless. For the most part, my cramps are fine, my period is fairly light and only about 4 days long and very regular. I never had issues with breakthrough bleeding, and my acne remained the same pretty much, though it was never bad to begin with. Initially, I made sure to eat before taking this pill in the morning, but I stopped fairly quickly, and I never had issues with nausea that I would associate with this pill. My anxiety and depression can get pretty extreme, but that's an issue I have without TriNessa as well, so I can't exactly blame it for that. Most importantly, I never got pregnant. I would consider myself to be the perfect user, and one could say I've put this pill to the test and it's passed with flying colors every month."

For Birth Control "I'm a 36-year-old and hadn't been on hormonal BC for 6 years before I started TriNessa Lo for BC. I've had many side effects. I had daily nausea that felt like morning sickness all day, every day. I only had relief during my period. I couldn't tolerate foods that I normally consume. Also, certain scents, like air fresheners, made me feel sick. I had occasional headaches and broke out with a lot of acne. My sex drive was nonexistent. I also felt significantly depressed near the end of my cycle before my period started. I decided to stop taking it after 3 months of use. Now, 2 weeks after stopping, all those side effects are gone. Bad experience for me!"

For Birth Control "I first started using TriNessa Lo in May of 2016. I am 24 years old, weigh 115, and became sexually active the month after for the first time when I got married. The first week the hormones kicked in was pretty rough. It was the usual-low to moderate nausea, a couple of headaches, and, of course, I became very emotional. But I went back to normal pretty soon after. Since then, I've had no side effects, my periods are now lighter and shorter without cramps, and my acne went away almost completely three months later. My prescription was suspended a couple of months ago, and I can't even tell the difference! The only difficulty I face is having to remember to take it at the same time every day. I will soon be trying NuvaRing for this matter. I hope it's just as great!"

For Acne "So TriNessa is my first birth control, and honestly, it is not that bad. I'm going to start Accutane and was told to start birth control. My advice for anyone who suffers from nausea is to take an antacid (Tums) 30 minutes before taking the pill. I take mine before bed, and the nausea is very bearable and not extreme, so I was able to sleep through the night. The only thing is that I'm getting headaches, and my anxiety is getting a little bad. However, I'm giving my body time to adjust to the pill. So far, so good."

For Acne "This is the worst form of birth control on the market. I have been taking it for 4 months, and I've experienced all of the side effects. I initially chose this birth control to alleviate some of my acne issues, and this pill broke me out so badly, so do NOT take it. My breasts are much bigger, and they hurt so badly every day, I've even had to sleep in bras. The pill has increased my appetite, and I still occasionally feel nauseous. During my period week, I have severe cramps and fatigue more than I had prior to taking the pill. Although it does prevent pregnancy, that's about it. I'm on my fourth pack and have decided against taking the medicine. Beware."

For Birth Control "I never had such a worst experience ever being on a birth control. I was throwing up, had nausea, a burning sensation in my stomach, my mood was yo-yoing, had headaches, just didn't feel like myself. I took them for two weeks, and I couldn't do it anymore. The symptoms were just getting worse instead of getting better."

For Birth Control "Started taking this pill and had terrible heartburn for the first week or two. Took maybe a month or so to adjust. Didn't have any problems with bleeding or acne. Periods didn't get lighter til maybe 8 months into it? As of now, I feel great! Haven't gotten pregnant and I feel overall very stable. One thing that still affects me is super bad nausea if I don't eat enough before taking the pill. Other than that, I've been very happy with this pill."
