I laugh, joke, and feel okay about things. As with anything, YMMV, but it's been amazing for me.I got cystic acne from the nexplanon too! This is totally out of character for me! Through this, I found out that one of the active ingredients in Levlen ED is levonorgestrel, which is highly androgenic. A course of doxycycline may help with inflammation and get your skin under control while you adjust to a topical treatment plan. It’s honestly a relief that other people have had these same symptoms and I’m not just crazy, definitely going back to my gyn to get off of this after this pack.” Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo ethinyl estradiol 0.025 mg / norgestimate 0.180 mg (O-M 180) ortho tri cyclen nausea. However, I was used to it already and was able to control it. I gained depression, weight, hated how I looked etc.

Found out that certain types of contraceptives can indeed help decrease or aggravate hormonal acne.

I am finishing the pack and then switching.” It was my first birth control I had tried. It was different than I was used to.

Currently on tri-vylibra and I hate it. Unfortunately I was insanely emotional and gained a lot of weight, had swelling in my legs on it so i stopped it. Very depressed. I love it, and for this reason I'm planning to stay on it for a looooooooong time.

It’s been so amazing. I came to this realization when I went off the pill and felt my mind getting ‘ clearer ‘ like I was finally thinking and acting normally. So I tried to tough it out and it only got worse.

It was absolutely awful.

Perhaps a low androgen BC, like ortho-cyclen or ortho-tricyclen, may help. Has been great for awhile. The easiest way to lookup drug information, identify pills, check interactions and set up your own personal medication records. After the first two days I became severely depressed. “I've truly loved this birth control. But now some evil insurance or pharm co has decided to stop manufacturing Ortho Tri-Clyclen Lo and I've been switched to Tri Lo Sprintec and I'M TERRIFIED! I've never had suicidal thoughts until I was on this birth control.

It didn’t really help with my cramps either, they still hurt (my pain is as bad as having to book off a week off of work, fainting, throwing up ect). This went on for much longer than I hoped for, but I hope this is helpful! I know it's common to start getting hormonal acne in your early 20s, but the timing was too coincidental to not have nexplanon at least exacerbate it.Thank you so much for your post!

Since the day I stopped I haven’t had any of those symptoms.

I got an IUD, Mirena, instead.

I would not recommend.” Here we'll guide you to the very best prices available today. Only on the third pack now and my period has been normal and almost no cramps as well as helped with my acne but is making me absolutely crazy. My anxiety is through the roof and I feel paranoid all the time. yaz/yasmin have the best progesterone for those with acne.

“I took the Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo for several years after the birth of my second child. I just went to the pharmacy and got this new pill Tri Lo Sprintec and after reading NOT A SINGLE GOOD review, I can say I'm scared for my life to take this lmao. I'll stay on this BC until I decide to have kids.”

It’s all I’ve ever used. I ended up being on other prescribed medicine to help with that because I thought something was happening. I had it removed after a year and a half after trying several topical meds that didn't help. One day I managed to line up the timeline of my sadness of when I started the birth control, and then came across this review page. I couldn't ask for anything more.Thanks for your post! ortho tri cyclen missed a pill.

I started crying over nothing. I have had absolutely no problems. Lighten and shortened my period. “Overall- one of the worst experiences of my life. I was even willing to pay the $150 per month to get it out of pocket because I don’t want to risk crazy side effects of any other birth controls.”

Mods feel free to delete this.Also, didn't know what tag to put on this!

No weight gain, no breakthrough bleeding or mood swings, no pregnancy and I’ve never used any backup birth control or condoms- just the pill. drosperinone is anti-androgenic.side effects: not much with yaz, just bigger boobs. I’m usually a very confident, happy go lucky person but ever since I’ve started this taking Ortho Tri- Cyclen Lo I am paranoid and insecure. The next morning my head felt so clear.I'm going to piggy back on this...it cleared up my skin. 7 years ago.

Before starting it, I was breaking out a lot. I've never taken a triphasic pill before nor a 28 day cycle one.
