Is Ortho-Tri Cyclen Low Dose Birth Control Pill Than Loestrin?
Hi! I have a question regarding birth control. I was taking loestrin 21 for three months after taking seasonique for three years. In those three months I experienced the worst PMS symptoms of my life to include raging mood swings, anxiety, and depression. I have free health care with the VA and they have few options for birth control. I asked for a low dose pill because I get sick easily, and they gave me TriNessa...I looked it up and it says its generic for Ortho-Tricyclen and Ortho-Tricyclen Lo...is that true? Is this a low dose pill?
