"i first tried lo loestrin fe and it made me feel crazy. i switched to a triphasic birth controls and tried trinessa and tri-sprintec but had an even worse experience. i was unbelievably nauseous when i first started and threw up several times. every first week of each month i was dizzy and felt like i was in a fog and the rest of the weeks i was so nauseous that i couldn&#039;t eat, go to the gym, or do anything. i switched to minastrin and it was such a life saver. i didn&#039;t experience any nausea at all, i never felt dizzy, and i felt very emotionally stable. the only downside of this birth control is that i bled for 2 weeks if i took the pill 30 min late &amp; i started getting ridiculously hungry after a few months and was gaining weight"
