   Out of Stock Triphasil-28 (Birth Control board)

6th October 2006
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.

Skittlesgal,

Yes, nausea was the only side effect that I noticed. But, it was terrible.

I could tolerate it during the day, but about 7 – 8 o’clock at night it would hit and was awful. I tried taking it earlier than I usually would, and then later than I usually would, with food etc..

Nothing seemed to help, except taking a Tylenol PM and trying to go to sleep.

The prescription the doctor gave me is for Ortho Cyclen (not tricyclen). I think I will try the APRI next.

Yes, I would love to hear that Triphasil is back on the market.
