I was on this as well and had no (negative) side effects.

I would talk to your doctor and decide together what route would be best for you. There are just so many options it's hard to choose!

Thanks ladies! Im making an appt for tomorrow and I am going to try the Lo..it seems that whenever I am on medication, the side effects hit me hard, so Im hoping this one will work a little better for me!

I have been on Triphasil (generic is Enpresse) for years and years with no side affects at all ......good luck tomorrow....

How long have you been on it & what side effects are you experiencing. When I first started birth control I was on ortho-tricyclen. For the first 2 months I had some side effects, head ache, stomache ache, nauseus. But after about 2 months those side effects went away.

I recently switched to Yaz. My PMS systoms have gotten really bad lately & this should help me control them. Plus with Yaz I am going to have a period every 10 weeks instead of every 4. You can't do this on the ortho-triclene because it's not mono-hormonal.

I have been on it for about 2 years now..I was on it along with another medication for migraines..I had to quit that one over a year ago because of the side effects and things that I thought were because of that. Well, I am still experiencing some of them. I am very irritable and I cry at the drop of a dime..like anything. I can prolly make myself cry! My boyfriend of 2.5 years has been very patient with everything. I also have zero sex drive and Im only 23! That's not normal..haha.. and it has put quite a damper on that part of the relationship...I havent had any physical side effects. I got the ortho lo this afternoon and I have to wait 2 weeks to finish out my Yasmin and then I will see how it goes!

I've been on tri-sprintec for a long time now and I love it! No side effects or anything weird.

I was on tri-spentec for 5 years (it's the generic of ortho-triclyen). I had no problems. However, in the last 6 months my PMS sysmptoms have become horrendous. I went to a gynocologist & she said I was totally normal that your body changes in your mid-late 20's & PMS becomes more intense. She switched me to Yaz to help control my PMS symptoms. So far so good, but I've only been on it since sunday.

I have been on the Yasmin and Orthotri-cyclen as well as Ortho-cyclen and those never worked for me. So, I tried the patch, which didn't work for me either because I have an allergy to adhesives on anything like that, bandaids and all, so it left big whelps on me wherever I had it and itched the whole time. The one that did work well for me was the Nuvaring. It was wonderful like someone else said, you don't have to remember to take a pill every day. The pills did not work for me because of the hormone levels, they gave me migranes, but the Nuvaring has a lower dose.
