"i&#039;ve been taking trinessa for about 4-5 months now and it hasn&#039;t been too bad. it&#039;s the first birth control i&#039;ve ever used. i never have had bad acne at all but the first month i was on it i had terrible acne but that&#039;s normal and now i&#039;m seeing i get acne more the week before my period on this pill. also the first month and a half i noticed i was getting depressed but that went away.  i&#039;ve had a severe decrease in my sex drive to the point where i usually don&#039;t even want to masturbate but it&#039;s kind of coming back 5 months later. i haven&#039;t tested out its effectiveness yet because of my low drive. other than the low drive i don&#039;t really have any problems with it, but if i forget to take it i will get a headache until i take it."
