    So I just started on Sprintec last Monday and I was just wondering if anybody had any good/bad stories about their own experiences on it. So far, I'm pretty pissed cuz my period is still hanging around and it's been like a week now, but it's super light. I just wanted to see what anyone else had to say about it. Thanks. :)

    I was on Ortho-tri-cyclen which I beleive is the same and it SUCKED. I basically got two full periods a month (one in the middle of the pill pack) and had spotting the rest of the time. Then I switched to Nuvaring which kicks ass.

    I was on Tri-Sprintec, which is just the triphasel version of what you are on.
    It was fine for me in the beginning. Then I started experimenting extreme mood swings, inability to lose weight, hair thinning, and vomiting/inability to eat certain foods. It was truly awful. Hopefully, you have better luck.

    I have been experiencing the same symptoms. I take my pill at night about 10:30 before I go to bed. I wake up every morning with nausea. I have been depressed lately and gained about 10 to 15 pounds since I have been on it. Also it makes me not want to eat. What are the alternative methods of birth control that have worked for you?
