"I took Tri-Lo-Marzia for 10 months I have PCOS and it didn’t help my symptoms at all and I feel like it made them even worse actually my head hair falling/thinning, new body hair growing, oilier skin. Aside from that I felt extremely depressed all the time and every time I started a new pack the first week I always had raging anger. It regulated my cycle up until the last 3 months when I kept having random spotting then I finally switched pills."

"This medicine quite literally ruined my life, to the point I thought I developed severe bipolar. I took it for about 2 years as a late teen, originally for my acne. It did half its job for my skin, but I definitely still got pimples regularly. On the other hand, I developed endometriosis after never having cramps before, had no sexual desire for my long-term boyfriend anymore (we eventually broke up due to this), became extremely angry and depressed, and I got nauseous almost weekly (even after multiple years). I didn’t realize how terribly the medication affected me until after stopping it— the “mental illness” I thought I had developed magically disappeared almost immediately. The only positives I have about this birth control are that it grew my boobs from an A-cup to a C-cup within a month and that I’m not pregnant (but I was still very safe, so I’m not sure I’d accredit that to the medicine). Everyone is different, but I would recommend anything else."

"This is absolutely horrible. It gave me acne that I cannot get rid of and changed me as a person. I cry constantly I’m easily irritable and I’m just not myself anymore. I do not recommend at all."

"I was on Lo Loestrin but had to be switched to Tri-Lo-Sprintec (have also taken Tri-Lo-Marzia, both of which are supposed to be the generic brands) because apparently no insurance companies cover Lo Lo anymore. I have been experiencing very red, blotchy and big pimples near my chin, jawline and cheeks. I am 20 years old and have experienced acne but never to this extent. I thought it was just me and saw a dermatologist, went on Clindamycin and Tretinoin but those aren't helping. Finally decided it was time to make an appt with my Gyno and try to find something else that works for me. It has not affected my sex drive but I do experience vaginal dryness at times. I was being told that the acne was from what I eat, but I eat relatively healthy and work out 3-4 times a week. Would not recommend this pill to anyone. Even if they say it is generic for Lo Loestrin, I wouldn't try it, and if you do-- don't wait as long as I did to realize that new, persistent acne is most likely from this pill."
