I’ve never had any major issues with Sprintec. I’ve been on it for about 4 years because it’s what my doctor initially recommended for BC and acne. I have a very predictable schedule as to when my period stops and starts. Sometimes if I try to skip the placebo pills and skip my period, it messes up my cycle and becomes unpredictable. That’s the only issue I’ve ever had so I just stick to my schedu ... Show Full Comment

Writing this review because of all the negative reviews. I have had no side effects from taking this birth control. I got my prescription online and they deliver it straight to my house. It only cost $15 dollars a month with no insurance. I have nothing but great things to say about Sprintec and the company making it available for people who do not have insurance or a way to get to an obgyn.

Was put on Sprintec 3 months ago for birth control and I would tell others that the way this medication effects you is completely individual. I was hesitant to take this due to the bad ratings, but I’ve actually toned up rather than gain weight, my acne cleared, and my periods are regulated and normal. The only downside for me was mild dizziness the first month as my body got used to the extra hor ... Show Full Comment

I took this mainly for birth control for a year. it worked. I never got pregnant. But the side effects were miserable. I was nauseous at times, so I recommend taking it at night and not waking too early the next day. My breasts grew a whole cup size. They were swollen and tender most of the time.

I took this mainly for birth control for a year. it worked. I never got pregnant. But the side effects were miserable. I was nauseous at times, so I recommend taking it at night and not waking too early the next day. My breasts grew a whole cup size. They were swollen and tender most of the time. My periods were like clock work, although VERY PAINFUL and HEAVY. My skin cleared up significantly, something I wish I could hold on to. I have been off the pill for a month now and just got my first period since birth control and itâ??s very light, painless, today is the third day and it might be my last day for this cycle. Something I never experienced on Sprintec. My acne is coming back though, rapidly. I also did gain weight on this pill. More than 10lbs so be ware. And I was miserable. My main reason for coming off this pill was the depression. I couldnâ??t handle it anymore. I was also starting to get lumps in my breasts and I attribute that to all the extra hormones in me. Overall, take it for the birth control, that part was flawless, but please heed the warnings. This is a hard drug to deal with at its best.
