Birth Control
"I&#039;ve taken Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo for 10 years. About 8 months ago my insurance switched me over to Trinessa Lo due to it being cheaper. It&#039;s supposed to be the exact same thing so I&#039;ve given it time to work itself out. I&#039;m switching back to Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo. 15 lbs of water retention that will not go away despite constant exercise, healthy diet (no sodium or complex carbs), etc. Cystic acne, engorged and painful breasts, extreme mood swings, irritability, worsened hypoglycemia, no appetite, dead libido, HEAVY periods, horrible cramping, and headaches. I must be allergic to something in Trinessa or maybe it really isn&#039;t the same as OTC? Either way, this BC has made me consider quitting  BC altogether due to the insane side effects."
