Tri-Nessa?
I ran over to CVS last night to pick up a new rx for Ortho Tricyclen Lo, and it was $70. I decided to bag it, and had my doctor call in a new rx for the generic equivalent Tri-Nessa. The generic is only $15/mo.
I read some reviews on Tri-Nessa today, and the majority of the them are horrible. Now I'm starting to feel like cheaping out on BC was a bad move, but I really don't want to call my doctor AGAIN. It was a nightmare today, going back and forth with the doctor's office and Aetna, trying to find a suitable replacement.
Anyway, I was just curious if any one here has any first hand experiance with Tri-Nessa?
TIA!
Re: Tri-Nessa?
Not the same, but I took Ortho Tri-cyclin many years ago & was switched to the generic Tri-Sprintic and didn't notice any difference.
Is mail order an option for you? I have BCBS Federal Option and I get my Lo Loestrin via mail order. I get a 3-cycle supply for one co-pay ($70).
Sorry I'm not much help.
What did the reviews say - were they related to the hormones and thus would apply to the branded as well?
I second the mail order option - it usually saves a lot of money.
and I know it was a nightmare to go back and forth for a new prescription, but you are your best health advocate - if you aren't happy with your prescription, change it! you might annoy someone but ultimately you are taking this pill every day and that's more important (in my opinion).
There were a ton of complaints about moodiness, lack of sex drive, weight gain, etc.... Everything was great when they were on Ortho, but took a dive when they switched to the generic.
I wasn't worried about it until I started reading the reviews. I'll give it a few months and try it out.
I have no experience with this and it doesn't help you at this moment, but there is a new law going into effect next year that mandates that health insurance companies cover contraceptives 100% w/o copay.

Hmmm....moodiness, I am sure Ryan can go on about that! lol. Nothing else though. I lost 30 lbs. while on trinessa (not because of it but I was able to lose a lot of weight).
