Ortho Tri Cyclen (or any triphasic) has unopposed estrogen for part to most of the cycle. Estrogen is what causes the raging-lunatic moods, bloating, weight gain, etc. Pills that are unopposed (see above) or just plain high in it (like Diane 35, Patch, etc) are more apt to cause those types of symptoms. I was INSANE (and fat and spotted) on Ortho Tri Cyclen. Could you try the ring instead--it's supposed to be lower in estrogen?
