My doctor recently perscribed orthotricyclen lo for me because of severe cramping but the pharmacy gave me trinessa. I'm afraid to take them because I've heard and read so many negative things about them....

Your pharmacy dispensed the wrong medication. Trinessa is the generic for regular Ortho Tri-Cyclen. Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo has no generic. It is still on patient. Trinessa has no more side effects than any other birth control pill.
