I just began taking Tri-Sprintec 4 days ago. I was taking FemCon Fe previously, which I loved but the cost is $50 a month if uninsured. Tri-Sprintec is only $9 a month. I decided to give it a try. So far, I've it feels like I have an increased blood pressure, although I haven't checked it. I also have bouts of dizziness. I'll give this pill a fair chance and try it for 3 months.

Wow! Thank you guys for opening up and posting your symptoms. I'm so glad that I have decided to some research on this drug. I can't believe that so many people are have the same problems as I am. I didn't realize that so many problems could be connected to my birth control. I began taking Tri-Sprintec-28 about 5 months ago.

Wow! Thank you guys for opening up and posting your symptoms. I'm so glad that I have decided to some research on this drug. I can't believe that so many people are have the same problems as I am. I didn't realize that so many problems could be connected to my birth control. I began taking Tri-Sprintec-28 about 5 months ago. I have been having such severe mood swings, lack of ability to climax during sex (that sucks royally), painful cramps during my period. That is just the tip of the iceburg. The worst is severe anxiety, dizziness (to the point of nearly falling), mood swings (anger towards everything like I have never felt before). I have been to doctors, and had many tests done, and always -- no diagnosis. I truly have been considering that I might be crazy or need need some mental help. I am 31 years old, and I have been taking birth control pills for 16 years. I was put on these due to unexplainable breast pain. I think I can live with a painful boob, instead of this hell. I will not take another pill, I will try to get back on Ortho Tri-Cyclen.

I had been switched from one pill to this pill and I hate it. The first two months were okay but now I feel sick all the time. I get headaches all the time and my body aches constantly. I gained weight from this pill when I actually lost weight from the first pill I had been on. I am getting off of this pill this week and I would not recommend this pill to anyone.

I just had my second child and went on this pill due to insurance reasons. I started with nausea (never had this problem before with the pill) for a week, cramping that would take my breath away, of the 5 months on Tri-Sprintec I had light periods that lasted the whole month (once after having sex and the other because I missed 1 day and was tring to catch up), severe mood swings, contact problem ...

I do not recommend this one cheap or not. I'm switching back to Tri-Nessa (I was on this one before I had my second child and had no problems with it).

Overall I'm pleased with this birth control. I was on Ortho Tri cyclen lo but decided to make a switch to this. For me its only 5 dollars a month so how can I complain? I've been on this medication for quite a few months now and I haven't noticed any horrible side effects like many other women on here are talking about. I may get a little more emotional than usual sometimes but it seems pretty ... Show Full Comment

Overall I'm pleased with this birth control. I was on Ortho Tri cyclen lo but decided to make a switch to this. For me its only 5 dollars a month so how can I complain? I've been on this medication for quite a few months now and I haven't noticed any horrible side effects like many other women on here are talking about. I may get a little more emotional than usual sometimes but it seems pretty normal to me. As far as my acne goes, I'm not really sure if this pill is doing its job. And as far as skipping periods and break through bleeding goes, this pill fails. If you mess up ever so slightly you will have break through bleeding for a full month until your next period. But I do feel very protected on this pill. And now that I've changed my starting day I don't mind my periods as much. I guess I can't expect magical things to come out of this pill. It's prevented pregnancy effectively and I'm happy enough with that. I may change my pill the next time I go to the gyno but its definitely going to take a lot of thought.
