User Reviews for Tri-Sprintec (28) oral

I have been on this birth control since I was 18, so 8 years now. No pimples, didn't gain any weight, no nausea. Overall, it has worked wonderfully for me. It has been an incredibly effective birth control!

I took this for three years and gained 25 lbs. I worked out often, but I feel like I just couldnt loose weight. I gained alot in my belly and boobs. It made my boobs get too big i went from a C to a DD. This worked well to prevent pregnancy, but i did not like the side affects. Also when I went off of it i got ovarian cysts I have never had those before and now I am getting them. I think maybe because I just went off of the medication.

Really good birth control very effective have been on it for over a year and not one pregnancy scare! Doesn't help too much with acne I still get some pimples here and there but during my period so its not too terrible.. overall really like this BC

I used this medication for 7 years without much problem. At one point I thought it was causing me to be over-hormonal so I changed to just sprintec. I have gained so much weight since then (October last year). I want to switch back to tri sprintec. Anyone else have this issue and can offer some insight???

So, as far as periods go, this is a great drug to regulate you. However, all of the symptoms are the same as if you were to be pregnant so if you ARE having sex, it can worry you. On my first pack, I was made nauseous after every meal, big OR small. On my second pack, my skin itched so so bad at night and the only thing it could've been was my birth control. We didn't switch detergents, soaps, didn't have bed bugs, FOR SURE. On my third pack, I was pretty normal, now Im almost finished with my fourth pack on the third row of pills, (pills before your period) and cant eat without feeling sick, feel sick if I don't eat, my legs are itching a little, and im very bloated plus have experienced a few headaches. Im going to the doctor soon to get this changed because I truly cannot take being sick all the time and feeling as if im pregnant. Its ridiculous.Read More Read Less

Two words: pulmonary embolism. I have been on this for less than 1 year, and I just got out of the hospital and have to get blood tests everyday, with oxygen 24/7. I just turned 30. I understand birth control comes with those risks, but I've tried all sorts of BC and have never had issues. Please, do your research and weigh pros and cons and see if it's worth it.

Took this for two weeks and had to get off of it. It took the migraines away, but wouldn't let me get much sleep, made me feel physically agitated and wired. It gave me acne when I had none and two boil-like cysts in two places, then felt like it was causing an ovarian cyst. It did not make me sick at all - no nausea or dizziness. Things did start becoming too bright and vivid for my eyes around the end of the second week. I would recommend a norethindrone type of b/c, but stay away from the acetates. They'll make your hair fall out and your breasts shrink while you grow hair on your chin and chest.Read More Read Less

I have been taking tri-sprintec for Two years now! for the first four months, I had really bad stomach pains! I continued to take it because a friend I know said the same thing happened to her but it will subside. I still am currently taking medication but still am experiencing some side effects like.....soreness of breast, headaches, bloating, constipation and forget it if I miss a pill and double up the next day. My stomach hurts really bad like your dying when you have to double up! On another note... its a very effective birth control.Read More Read Less

I have been on this birth control for almost 3 years now and it works great. The only time I get sick from it is if I forget one day and take 2 the next (don't do that). It cleared my acne, I no longer have the horrible cramps I used to and my period is much lighter, only lasts 4 days, and is on time every month. This is the only form of birth control my husband and I use. We love it

I never give reviews of products but felt like I needed to after my success with this drug. My advice in two words: be patient. I have almost finished my third packet and my acne is completely gone. I suffered with acne off and on my entire life and was ready to not deal with it anymore. the first 6-7 weeks trisprintec made my acne significantly worse (cystic acne that i have never experienced before) and I almost gave up in the treatment because of how much worse it had gotten. But, I waited and by the 9th week, I had maybe one pimple, and now by the 11th week, it is completely acne free. The side effects I've experienced have been an increase in my breast size and some nausea. I would definitely recommend this if you can be patient!!Read More Read Less

I've been on this for about 7 months and it works great! As long as you remember to take it every day at the same time. My acne went away and I've had no side effects. My period regulated and I get it exactly every 28 days and it's not as heavy as it used to be. I used to have severe cramps and that went away too. Have not had any pregnancy scare. Works great

I have been on this pill for 8 months. Preventative wise, yes it works. I never came close to a pregnancy scare. My overall satisfaction, however, is less than appeasing. The list of side effects I experienced follows: Longer and far more painful periods, dizziness, loss of hunger, digestive issues, nausea (especially when my boyfriend made bacon or other pork products), and random bouts of moodiness (I am usually a happy person. I definitely became a more snarky individual while on this). The longer I took the pill, the worse my symptoms became, to the point where I experienced daily bouts of vertigo, nausea, and headaches. And don't even get me started on the periods! I went from a friendly monthly visit to having to endure letting some monster shred my insides all while dealing with bouts of exhaustion and fatigue so severe that I wanted to do NOTHING (I'm a fitness junky active person) but sleep. This would last a week. I stuck it out as long as I could and far longer than I should have. I have been off the pill for about 1 week now and feel SO much better. The vertigo and nausea have completely resided. I no longer have headaches and my energy and optimism have been restored to their former bright and bubbly selves. The main point of my review: I would not ever recommend this pill to a friend. Read More Read Less

This is my first birth control pill and it's been okay. The only side effect I have is mood swings which are dramatic but tolerable lol I'm 19 and my doctor recommended them for my irregular period which now they're regular finally. But I have noticed heavier periods but for the same five days.

I developed depression and bloody discharge from a nipple on this drug. The manufacturer has been cited for improper quality standards. When I returned to tri-nessa (theoretically the same medicine) my depression and the bloody nipple discharge stopped. Not soon enough to prevent a $10,000 breast mammogram though. Happily no tumor was found and the blood was attributed to the change from tri-nessa to tri-sprintec.

I was 15 yrs old when I was put on this medication. I have polycystic ovarian syndrome and they prescribed this to help remove the cysts inside and outside of my ovaries. The cysts cleared away, but the estrogen was to much for my body and it poisoned half of my eggs... I was told at 16 I'd never have kids without medical help. I am now 21 and I have tried naturally getting fertilized with and without fertility pills and still no results. I am very very hurt and upset that this medication has ruined my chances of having a child normally.Read More Read Less

I've taken multiple birth controls, and this one works just fine as far as controlling your menstrual cycle. However, while on this birth control I experienced intense bloating, constipation and loss of appetite. The discomfort was to the point of pain and I had to see a doctor. Within a week of not taking the pills, my digestive system went back to normal. Not sure if this side effective is just me or if others will have the same problem, but I would be aware. There are other birth controls on the market.Read More Read Less

I am 28 and this is my first time using birth control for ovarian cyst. At first I was on lo Loestrin fe but I bleed for weeks at a time and had horrible cramps. So I have been on tri sprintec for about a month and I love it. No cramping and my mood has been ok. It has worked for me so far.

I've been using Tri-Sprintec for over a year and it has helped me a lot in regards to painful and heavy menstrual cycles.

I've been on this for at least 6 years now, with a year off about 3 years ago. I started taking it because of extremely irregular periods and serious cramping, which it fixed! The first few years went great, though I have suffered from quite a bit of weight gain (a mix of inactivity and I'm beginning to think this pill). The past few years though I've realized a lot more has been going on. I didn't notice it until I forgot to fill my prescription for a week but it has caused a variety of issues. The most notable being I have zero sex drive. On top of that it's mellowed out my personality and when I get stressed I get overly emotional- things that never used to happen to me. Now when I was off it for that 2 week period, I saw my waistline shrink, my sex drive returned, and my personality seem to go back to how it was. I'm going to see my doctor tomorrow and I'm going to be doing everything I can to switch from this pill. It's making me feel out-of-control of my own body and giving me insecurities I never used to have. It did do it's job in fixing my cramps and irregularities, but the side-effects just aren't worth it.Read More Read Less

I've been on birth control for seven years now. I've been taking Tri-Sprintec for 2 years. It works, no babies and no acne. My side affects have been mood swings and depression. I've been getting dizzy this past week. So just like everyone else everyone is different. It may not affect you now but later down the road you (hopefully) don't have any problems. I loved this birth control but now I will probably not take it anymore due to all of these symptoms I'm having. Now I wish I would have read the adverse side effects before I bought it.Read More Read Less
