Out of Stock Triphasil-28

[Bracelet]

I was on microgestin, which is the generic for Loestrin, for about 6 years. I didn't see any difference in the two, except the microgestin was cheaper.

There is no reason for you to not trust the generic. It's exactly the same active ingredients in exactly the same dosages. The only way it differs is the inactive ingredients (which don't affect the effectiveness) and the packaging.

I don't understand why you're so dead set against the generics. They're cheaper and exactly the same thing. I work for a drug company, so I know what I'm talking about.

I am not dead set against all generics. I use them most of the time if they are available.

Is just that for birth control, I want to be very careful, since the point of me taking the pills is that I do not get pregnant.

I do appreciate your reply.

I think that I will get the generic, since I have the prescription for Ortho Cyclen and the doctor is not calling me back. I don't even know if my messages are getting to her.

Thank you

I have been on Trivora (generic for Triphasil) for 11 days now and am extremely nauseated mostly in the evenings, but this morning woke up nauseated and it lasted until 9am. Can’t go to sleep because I feel so bad. Starting taking Tylenol PM to help with that.

I called Wyeth and they still have no update when they will manufacture Triphasil again. I am going to try a different birth control pill next cycle.

The doctor gave me a prescription for three different pills, guess I will wind up trying all of them.

Thanks for listening, nothing to do about this but complain.

Elephant, i am going thru the same thing right now, i am so aggrivated!!!!!!!!!!! i am scared to take the Trivora, I called 3 pharmacies they said Triphasil is on backorder with no information on when it will be back, i been on Triphasil for 3 years with no complaints at all, worked wonderfully, I just dont know what to do, the pharmacist assured me that if I had no adverse reactions to the Triphasil, then the Trivora should be fine as well, but i am not sure, i have been reading things on here that make me scared...is it getting any better on the Trivora? Maybe it will take a few weeks to get used to it??

Sorry to say that I did not feel better until I after I finished 14 days on the Trivora. I can't deal with how badly I felt on it. I can not feel terrible for two weeks of every month. Also, I am hoping that I will feel okay for the rest of the month (time will tell). I am now on day 17. I will try a different prescription when this one is finished. (I think she gave me APRI and Ortho Cyclen, not sure which I will try 1st?) Will have to get the generic of Ortho Cyceln - since my insurance will not cover it and the brand drug would cost me $80.00 a month, the generic $7.00. I think Apri is a generic also of some other brand name drug.

The doctor gave me three different prescriptions to try, so I guess that's what I will do.

I called Wyeth three days ago? and the representative told me that it is still out of stock and he has no information when it will be produced again. Sounds like it will not be - to me.

I would get sort of sick the first day of Triphasil, but thought that I could deal with that, compared to what other pills had put my body through.

If one of these other pills do not work for me, really I just do not know what I will do. I guess I will find myself in the doctor's office pleading for a direction to take.
