Anyone on the BC pill- Tri-Lo-Sprintec?

I use to be on Ortho-Tri cyclen- LO.. but my pharmacy went to the generic kind which is the Tri-Lo Sprintec stuff and since my dr. didn't write script for name brand only, when I filled it the last time, the generic is what i got.  I have been on it now for two months and i have been so moody, crying for no reason, plus i feel like my eyes have been blury and I have been getting more headaches... I'm just wondering if anyone else has been having weird things happen while on it?? I'm debating if i want to call my dr. or wait for my annual check up...

Maybe i'm just odd... ha...

I haven't been on that pill specifically, but when I switched to the generic version of my usual BC, I went completely BSC. It was terrible!

And that is why I avoid the pill at all costs.

I have never been on a generic pill...actually ortho tri cyclen lo is the only pill i have ever been on and i was always fine on it... this is why i'm really thinking this generic pill is making me nuts... UGH...

Call your doctor and have him/her write you a script for Ortho - no substitutions. I had crazy break through bleeding on Tri-Lo-Sprintec and going back on Ortho did the trick.

This happened to me, too. I ended up switching to NuvaRing because my insrance won't pay for brand-name Ortho.
