How Is 'alesse'? Posted: 07-06-07 17:25pm
I was recently switched from
'Tri-cyclen-lo' to 'Alesse' only because
it wasn't covered by my medical, and I was
just curious as to what everyones thoughts
were on how effective this is compaired to
the one I was previously on. (maybe they
have the same effectivenes?)
Anyways, that's all from me.

Alesse is just as effective as other
pills, it is a lower dosage of hormones,
but still effective =)

Alesse is very effective, but is a low
dose so lower dose pills are less
effective for the very overweight - likely
not a problem, especially since the pill
you used to be on, (tri-cyclen-lo) is also
a low-dose.
I was on alesse for 7 years, tried
nuvaring for awhile (awful) and now I'm
back on alesse. I've had no problems, no
pregnancy scares. They have a great
website if you have any questions your
doctor didn't answer, or if you just want
to do more reading.

I just finished my third pack of Alesse
and I'm glad I'm done them. They made me
put on weight, my acne got worse and
during the last month, they made me feel
like a nervous wreck!
