Ortho Tri-Cyclen (Birth control) Reviews

well i just finished my third pack,i'm on it 3 months now. I'm an absolute emotional wreck,tearful 100%of the time!I get cranky,angry and vicous! I have seen an improvement in my skin,it has cleared in parts and I'm able to see the skin healing around my spots.It'll take more time obviously and the advice I would give is comply and adhere to it:regarding the time you take it and if you're taking any other acne treatment with it keep with it!!I saw one side of my face clear and it was but like the fool I thought it was ok to be relaxed about other treatments and it relapst! sickner!!!!(I'm on Dianette)

Cleared up my face very, very well, but I had a migraine almost everyday and I was an emotional wreck!!

i got pregnant,and that was bad on my skin.i had an abortion and the clinic gave me these pills.they're pretty awful,and so i only took them for a few days but it made me puffy and cranky.

I've been on Ortho Tricyclin Lo for about two months and I can tell that my acne has cleared up quite a bit. Instead of big zits, I just get hard bumps underneath the surface of my skin, which I have never been able to get rid of except with Doxycyclin. It is the next best thing to antibiotics that only last a short time period. I do still break out during my period though, so my months are spent 50/50 breaking out and clear. Its better than nothing, I guess. PS. I also use Acne Free which helps during my period.

I have been taking tri cyclen since I was 15 years old. I am now 25 and still have breakouts and bacne. I have had no real side effects and the pill is free at the youth clinic.

all this did was make me fat.

This actually worked pretty well for me. I would rarely get serious break outs, but when I stopped taking them for a while, I broke out like crazy because of the hormonal chaos I caused. I have recently started taking Ortho Tri Cyclin Lo, but I haven't seen any change in my acne. The reason I changed to Ortho Tri Cyclin Lo is because I couldn't handle how emotional the regular pill made me.

I have been on several birth control pills without problems before, but this one made me feel totally hormonal. I felt like I was losing my mind. It did nothing for my acne.

ive been on it for a month and a half and it hasnt done anything for my ance, i notice my skin isn't as oily tho, but the pimples im getting are really sore.

I didn't notice it's effectiveness until I stopped taking the pills. Then I started breaking out like crazy. So I guess it was working all along.
