I have been on this drug for about 6 months now and the only bad thing that I can say is I have cramps, sometimes they are intense but it only usually happens the first day of my cycle and lasts only a few minutes. I was on tri-nessa for about 7 years and then all of a sudden began getting extremely emotional while on my period, i.e. crying over anything and everything.

I switched to caziant since the generic version of Ortho Tricyclen Lo went off the market. I did some research and this seemed very similar - same levels of estrogen, different type of progestin. I've been on it for about 6 months and my side effects seem to be getting worse. PMS mood swings, nausea, back pain, and really heavy periods.

To be fair, though, I have no spotting, which I often had with Ortho if I missed a pill. But I realized this month I have to switch brands. Probably will go back to the expensive Ortho.

I started taking this almost two months ago and have had no side effects. I could not afford Ortho Tri Cyclen Lo and this was as close as I could get to the dosage in Ortho. I started taking it to shrink a large cyst and will continue to take it as an affordable and easy form of birth control.

I was very hesitant due to some of the negative comments but I have come to find that it's nothing I can't handle. The first week of every month is a little more "emotional" but I don't cry or have fits or anything drastic. I just notice I am a little more sensitive. I have had zero break through bleeding. My periods are normal. My cramps are cramps...sometimes they hurt ... Show Full Comment

The first week of every month is a little more "emotional" but I don't cry or have fits or anything drastic. I just notice I am a little more sensitive. I have had zero break through bleeding. My periods are normal. My cramps are cramps...sometimes they hurt sometimes they don't. I was on Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo and loved it but the money was an issue so now I am on Caziant. It was well worth the money for me to trade pills.
