Okay, I am taking ortho-tri cyclen lo right now and have been having some horrible side effects. So I went today to get my pills switched and they prescribed me triphasil-28. I am going to a free clinic right now because I don't have insurance or the money to pay a doctor. So this clinic can't afford brands like yasmin, which is what I wanted to be put on cause I had no problems with that. Now, I have done a search on this pill and one of the main things that I am reading about women having a problem with, is losing their hair. One woman said she lost 60% of her hair. I really don't want to lose my hair, I have finally gotten it to grow and look good. So, I am wondering is anyone taking this pill? If so, did you have any problems? I am just so scard to take it now. Thanx!!

I Was On Triphasil...

I consider myself a triphasil expert! My doctor told me that of all the birth control pills triphasil is one to give u the least side effects because it carries hormones that mimic your period that is why it is in tri phases. I had absolutely no problems in the beginning with this pill and it helped me with many things. Such as depression/acne/pms etc. The only problem was that I had a low sex drive after three months and had to get off of it. My doctor said it could just be my reaction to pills in general. I am starting alesse and I am going to see.
