Do NOT take if you are depressed. It makes it so much worse. I gained weight, had a increase in acne, extreme bloating and that is within 1 month use. My busy life caused me to not take the pill at the same exact time each day. If I missed a day, I followed the pack instructions to take two the next dose. I am currently 6 weeks pregnant ?? I do not recommend

I started Sprintec when I was about 21 (10 years ago). It worked just fine, and I even got to my lowest weight while taking it (albeit I was eating very healthy at the time, and working out). I decided to try the copper IUD, to see how it felt not taking a hormone. So in May of 2018 I got the IUD.

I got it removed and went back on Sprintec October of 2019 because of the really bad cramping and very heavy bleeding that the IUD caused. I do think I get mood swings with the pill where I feel down, but it doesn't last more than a day or two. My period is light, and the cramps are nothing compared to the IUD. I've actually lost a few pounds since going back on the pill.

This is my first time on the pill and I’ve had tender breasts and after having my period I have been spotting every day for 2+ weeks. I have had cramps and bad acne. I also have had a decreased appetite, but an increased sugar tooth.

I have been taking Sprintec for the past 3 years. It works well as being used as a contraceptive plan. After my 2 years of taking Sprintec, my mood and my anxiety went sky high. I then had attacks all the time and went to the doctor and she put me on an anti anxiety pill and demanded I was taken off of my birth control.
