I put my cell phone a a re-occurring alarm. this allowed me to remember to take the pill everyday and at the exact time everyday. My periods were very consistent and light. No kind of cramping or pain. It did not make my acne worse. It worked really well for me.

I was previously on Yaz for 2 years, and recently switched to Sprintec because of new insureance. I have hated every minute of the last three months. I have NEVER had issues with cramping, headaches or moodiness or even breast tenderness until now. My breasts feel as if they are totally engorged and Im so bloated I questioned weather I had actually become pregnant. Fortunately Im not, but hte side effects of this pill are horrible.

I took this for the discounted price and it worked well until I got my first period on it. I got headaches, mood swings, and tiredness. I am mean! I am switching back to Yasmin.

I had taken Yaz prior to Sprintec. My Dr. recommended it because Yaz caused too many side effects. This one is just as bad but I'm going to stick it out to see if I adjust. I have awful breast tenderness. Like I'm engorged w/ milk. I have higher ab pains and I always feel like I could throw up at any point. usually subsides at night. It's all like morning sickness. Very bloated but no appetite. The breast pain is the worst!

I started taking Sprintec 28, 3 months ago. I have none of the risk factors. Under 35, non-smoker, athletic, walk 2-3 miles/4-5 times a week, exercise daily, excellent and better than textbook lab results according to my doctor during my last physical in January 2008. After completing my 3rd month, I started having pain, cramping, swelling, and discoloration in my leg. Went to the ER. I spent 5 days in the hospital due to 3 blood clots in my upper thigh and groin area of my left leg, and a blot clot in each of my lungs. Be very careful.Read More Read Less

I have never had anything abnormal concerning my cycle until now. I have been bleeding for 14 days. I have headaches, nausea and have never felt like this before. Be careful of this drug.

I have been taking this birth control for 2 months now and it has worked great. I have had my period and haven't had much moodiness or the severe stomach pains I was having while on Yaz. I really like that its very inexpensive also, going from $30 a month to $4 is great!!!

I've been on Orthocyclen (the same thing as Sprintec) and now Sprintec for a year now. I experienced vomiting the very first night after I took it, but after that I had no problems except for one day after I forgot to take a pill and had to take two the next day. My periods are like clockwork now (a very nice change from before) and I had some acne on my cheeks before but it has all cleared up now. I take it at the same time each night (I set an alarm on my phone) and it's not too hard to remember. I always use an additional backup method of birthcontrol just in case, so it's been completely effective for me. Overall, I'm completely satisfied with this pill.Read More Read Less
