It works and is easy to take. However, the side effects were too bad so I had to stop taking the pills. The first week was fine, but on the second week I began to feel depressed for no reason. I began to break out in places I'd never had acne before such as my neck, chest and back. I got zits on my face and little red bumps on my chest, neck and forehead. I thought it would go away but it just ... Show Full Comment

I thought it would go away but it just got worse. Now I have had bad diarrhea for about a week. I also get cravings for sweets. I would definitely NOT recommend this pill.

I absolutely hate this birth control. In a month, I gained about 15 pounds without changing my eating habits. My face has broken out everywhere. Worst of all, I was prescribed this to control my hormones. I have zero patience for people and haven't had one day without mood swings. At this point, I can't even go to work because I don't have tolerance for people. I don't unders ... Show Full Comment

Ever since I started taking this birth control my hair has been falling out so much!! It's actually noticeable now. I'm only 28 years young. I'm also much moody and depressed. I absolutely dislike this pill!! DON'T TAKE IT.

I have been on Tri-Previfem for 4 months and I am not happy at all! My skin has gotten horrible. I haven never had skin problems in my life and now I'm on skin treatment. I also have gone up a cup size or 2. And that has been very depressing since I had purchased my wedding gown it fit perfect and now have to get it altered because my breast have gotten larger.

I do not recommend this medication. I was on ortho tri cyclen Lo and I can't wait to get back on it. Only reason I went with Tri-Previfem is because it was WAY WAY cheaper than Ortho Tri Cyclen Lo. I am now willing to pay what ever is necessary to get back on my old birth control.

I was switched to Tri-Previfem by my Medco supplier about 5 months ago (was recently on Tri-Sprintec, another generic bc pill). Ever since I've been on Tri-Previfem, I've noticed a HUGE change in my mood and overall emotional well-being. I've felt depressed, alone, I get upset easily over minor things, and I've had no sex drive whatsoever. It works great as far as doing its job as ... Show Full Comment

Ever since I've been on Tri-Previfem, I've noticed a HUGE change in my mood and overall emotional well-being. I've felt depressed, alone, I get upset easily over minor things, and I've had no sex drive whatsoever. It works great as far as doing its job as birth prevention (every pill I've ever taken was fine in that sense, thankfully), but my emotional well-being has taken a huge hit. I'm either going to switch or take a break from bc in general to let my body rest after being on the pill for nearly 6 years.
