User Reviews for Tri-Sprintec (28) oral

I have been taking this pill for 3 months now. I was put on Tri-sprintec because I was having horrible side effects from my previous pill Camila. Before I started Tri-sprintec I read all of the reviews and was really scared and didn't want to try it. But I decided to give it a try anyway. Since I started my face is clear, my periods are predictable and a lot shorter, hardly any cramping, pretty much the total opposite of the other pill I was on. I recomended Tri-sprintec to a friend whos insurance didn't cover the pill she was taking, she's been on it a little over a month and has had no problems. Read More Read Less

I switched from Ortho Lo to Tri-Sprintec due to the cost difference, but wish now i hadn't. I have read every review and only 1 person has stated they have had hair loss. My hair has been coming out in handfuls since i started taking this pill. I have been taking it for 5 months and only recently made the connection between the pill and hair loss. I have also gained 8 pounds that I am unable to lose, and have been more tired then I ever have been before. I have stopped taking the Tri-Sprintec and will be starting back on Ortho Lo as soon as possible.Read More Read Less

I recently decided to give the pill a chance after being on Ortho Evra (patch) and NuvaRing. I was first prescribed Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo which was great, but very expensive. My presciption was changed to Orhto Tri-Cyclen and as a result I was given the generic, Tri-Sprintec. Aside from getting used to the daily pill regime, the side effect of acne was indeed the worst. I have had clear skin throughout my years on other BC, but Tri-Sprintec made my acne flare up. Immediately upon starting it, I was getting small whiteheads along my chin and around my mouth. It quickly spread throughout my face and neck. Horrible! I'm switching back to NuvaRing for its ease and few side effects.Read More Read Less

I have been taking this medicine for seven months. I like it because i know when i'm going to start, but I know now that the moodiness is probably from the pill.

I have been on Tri-Sprintic for 2 months and have already noticed weight gain, headaches, mild depression, stomach cramps and increased hunger.Im not sure if my body will get used to the drug after a while Or even how long that will take. But after reading these reviews i may reconsider my options...

I had multiple side effects for several months and this included serious weight gain and illness. It effected my ability to work due to illness so often.

So far I absolutely hate this drug. The side effects are terrible...I've experienced severe mood swings, depression, anxiety, and paranoia. I've also had bad cramping and body aches. I haven't gained weight yet, but it makes my appetite unbearable, I'm either starving or have NO appetite at all. The only positive result is that my skin has cleared significantly.

I just had my second child and began taking sprintec 28. Before my child I used the nuva ring but had to switch due to my lack of insurance. So far I am experiencing extreme nausea, weird belly feelings, and my mouth is constantly DRY! I have read many reviews but havent read anything about dry mouth...........am I alone on this one or is someone out there having this problem too? I drink and drink water but it doesn't help me.

I haven't experienced too many bad side effects besides severe headaches. I didn't realize they were from the birth control until i looked up review and side effects. I have also had some irregular cramping, but my doctor told me that may happen the first couple months. I am on my third day of my inactive pills and have yet to start my period

the first thing i noticed after about a month of taking Tri-Sprintec was that my breasts were unbearable... i thought i was pregnant but ended up its just the birth control. its almost worse than being pregnant. I have had NO sex drive whatsoever and have been thinking i was suffering from depression until reading these bad reviews and remembering that i didnt feel this way before i started tri sprintec. i am going to quit taking it right away and it should be banned.

I am getting ready to start my fourth month on Tri-Sprintec and don't really have any complaints. I switched from the Nuva Ring because I wanted a lower cost birth control and something to help with hormonal acne. My co-payment went from $50 to $10 so I am pleased with that, but I desperately miss the convenience of the Nuva Ring! This is the first "pill" form of birth control I have taken and the only thing I dislike about it is the act of having to take a pill every day! (I was on the patch for a couple of years before switching to the Nuva Ring and I was on the Nuva Ring for about three years.) I have not noticed any differences other than my period is a little heavier on Tri-Sprintec than the Nuva Ring and I now have fewer pimples the week before my period. It has not yet cleared my acne completely - but I remain hopeful that it might within the next few months. Read More Read Less

have not stopped spotting and am on 3rd week of use. started day 1 of my cycle. lots of random cramping and feel more tired.used orthotricyclen for 5 yrs with some minor side effects but nothing like these....

This is the first birth control I have ever been on so I'm not really sure what to compare it to. I noticed a bit of nausea which then sometimes curbs my appetite. Also about a week into it I came down with a yeast infection. Now today I noticed I'm spotting and getting cramps and I will be taking the white pills in 2 days to get my period, which I hope will be light and less then the 5 days I usually have it! I hope the side effects I'm experiencing clear up!

I have only been on this for one day. But it doesn't seem hard to remember to take it. My dr said it didn't matter if I took it give or take 30 minutes each night of the original time I took it. Most of the side-effects seem okay compared to what my period normally is. 3 weeks long, 1 week of bleeding in the middle - the other two weeks are heavy cramping, mood swings, bloating, headaches, etc.

I was put on tri-sprintec a few months ago after my regular pill was discontinued..Ive had lots of stomach issues since the-cramps,bloating,naseau, not to mention vag discharge and itching resembling a yeast infection. I thought I was crazy thinking these symptoms were because of this pill, but I am reading lots of the same issues I have.

While this medication was effecitve as I am not pregnant, and I don't find taking a pill a day to be difficult, I do feel that it has altered my moods. I am more sensitive, become easily stressed, increased anxiety, decreased sex drive. I enjoyed clear skin and less PMS but I am reasearching a new pill to try. For me,t he side effects are not worth it where there are so many other options.

I am so glad to read these posts - I thought I was crazy. I was put on tri-sprintec due to low cost (insurance) and noticed almost immediately a change in libido. Just not interested in anything more than cuddling - not me. I have been taking it for 4 months. I have not gotten pregnant so it does work for birth control, however with no libido you don't have much sex. My periods have been lighter. BUT my cramps have been worse leading up to the period and I have had problems with large clots which I never had before and have had 2 babies vaginally. The worse part is weight gain. I have gained 15 pounds in the time I have been on the pill and have not changed my diet for the worse. I told my dr. I was concerned about this and he said just try weight watchers. I am hungry all the time which I never experienced before. I am also more nervous and anxious about things and that is not me either. I do not like this pill and if I could stop taking it today, I would. But it will screw up my period even more. But I am calling my dr. tomorrow and telling him all the problems others report - same as mine - and I want a different pill or I'll get off birth control all together and take my chances. Its better than going through the side effects of this pill. I guess you get what you pay for so make sure you watch your symptoms if you go on this pill. Thanks.Read More Read Less

Shortly after I started taking this pill I noticed clusters of small, white patches of skin on my stomach that almost looked like they had lost their pigmentation. It only gets worse in the sun. So weird. Anyone else experience anything like this?

I was prescribed tri-sprintec a few years ago to clear up my acne and to regulate my cycle. I loved it because it finally cleared up my skin and I always knew exactly when my periods were going to start. I did gain weight, and up until now I never thought it was because of the pill. I only have one more month until my prescription runs out and I think I am going to get off of it for a while, to see what happens. If my face breaks out and I start having irregular periods after several months, I will most likely get back on it. It was nice though to read how it effected other people. I haven't had any problems with it and have been on it for maybe two years. Read More Read Less
