Shannon, Seattle, WA Oct 8th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: I started using ORTHO TRI CYCLEN my sophmore year of high school, to help with acne. I never had any problems with the pill whatsoever, no cramps, acne got better, no nausea, etc. Cons: A little bit of bleeding between periods, very light, and eventually went away after longer use. Bottom Line: I would recommend, the pill doesn't increase psychological problems, if you already have thoughts of particular troubling things in life, it's not the pill that increases these thoughts. Recommended: Yes Acne severity: light Was this comment helpful? (Yes) (No) (Report as inappropriate)

Jen, Ontario, Canada Sep 29th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: I have been on Ortho Tri Cyclen for 5 years, and opposite from many of the reviews above, there has been nothing but positives for me. Clear skin, no cramps or back aches, super light periods...and as for birth control...100% effective. Cons: I've only ever felt slightly nauseous when I had to take two pills at once....never have I been sick. I have slight mood swings a few days prior to my period, which I contribute to the sudden drop in hormones from not taking the pill for 7 days Bottom Line: Tri Cyclen has offered nothing but benefits...two thumbs up all the way. I Truly have 100 % faith in this birth control (given you are responsible and take if on a consistent basis). My boyfriend and I never use condoms, and I have never had any issues.

Hawk09, New Jersey Sep 27th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: I have not taken ortho tri-clycen, but my sister and best friend did and I wanted to share their stories. My sisters skin did get better, however, there were serious adverse effects you need to be warned about Cons: Serious adverse effects included suicidal and morbid thoughts. Both my sister and friend gained weight, and their personalities completely changed. My sister kept having the same terrible worries our family would die the whole time she took it Bottom Line: BE VERY WARY of psychological side effects as well as physical ones. My friend pushed her roommate away and caused her boyfriend to break up with her. Both her and my sister couldnt figure out what was wrong, but all their psychological unsteadiness stopped when they discontinued their use of the pill. My friend stopped because her and her boyfriend broke up, and we were lucky enough to realize the pill was messing with my sister's mind. I wasn't the one that took the pill, but felt it important enough to warn you about this pill. Recommended: No Was this comment helpful? (Yes) (No) (Report as inappropriate)

Sg22657, Strasburg,Va Sep 26th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: It works great at preventing pregnancy. It began to clear my skin some after 1-2 months. My breasts got bigger. It's on the Walmart list and is very affordable. Cons: My breasts were sore. My face didn't clear as much as I hoped. I gained 10lbs around the 3rd month and had a lot of sugar cravings. Bottom Line: If you don't mind sore boobs and weight gain and don't have bad acne, then it's not bad. I just don't want to gain weight, and I want clearer skin. I work hard to stay thin and I exercise daily. I went from 113 to 123, and saw no end in sight so I got off it and started feeling better immediately. I am going to try Yaz. I hear a lot of good things and my dermatologist recommended it after I visited while on this particular brand. Recommended: No Usage: Sg22657 has used this item for a few months. Price Paid: 9.00 Acne severity: moderately severe Was this comment helpful? (Yes) (No) (Report as inappropriate)

Price Paid: 9.00 Acne severity: moderate Was this comment helpful? (Yes) (No) (Report as inappropriate)
