"i got a prescription for trinessa about  5 months ago, mostly just to help with my acne, and so far so good. my breakouts last a shorter amount of time and are smaller in size. my period has also gotten shorter and lighter and i hardly get cramps at all. the only drawback is that in the first 2-3 months or so i would get dizzy, slight headaches, and a little more fatigued than usual. other than that this pill works great. my acne hasn&#039;t completely gone away, but it does help."
