I took ortho-cyclen and it made me break out HORRIBLY!!?

Question

my doctor today wants to switch me to ortho TRI cyclen..... I'm not sure I feel so good about that, but he claims it should be okay... what do you think?

Answer 1

Ortho tri-cyclen is supposed to help with acne. It may give you what the other pill could not. My daughter just started taking YAZ and it has really helped her complexion.  

Answer 2

As a veteran pill user, I can tell you that if you've had problems in the past with a certain pill, it is NOT going to be any better the next time around.  And pills in the same chemical family typically offer the same types of reactions.

If you had a problem with the one your doctor's recommending, tell him you don't feel comfortable with that pill, you do NOT want to go back on it, and you want a different pill.  

Doctors are there to advise, NOT dictate.  If he won't cooperate, tell him you want to speak to an associate.  Doctors CANNOT tell women what to do with their bodies!  Get a pill you feel comfortable with.
