was on sprintec most of my adukt life to regulate my menstrual cycles. I was overweight from 19 years old and on, never able to stick to a diet or avoid sweets, or stop smoking. I went off sprintec at 35. By 37, I managed to start eating right and exercising and made it to my optimal weight and stayed there. I went back on sprintec and just recently discovered side effects not commonly mentioned because i was trying to find answers to why, in 5-6 years, im almost to my former weight, cannot control hunger cravings, have been diagnosed with arthritis, fibromyalgia, TMJ, chronic fatigue, etc. Ive atopped taking this debilitating drug. I would rather have my cycles go haywure than to waste anymore of my life. The makers of this drug need slapped with a class action lawsuit.

I had to start birth control because of issues with ovarian cysts. At first, this pill was great. It cleared the cysts and continued to prevent them. I gained about ten pounds, which I don't mind because I have always been very small. I am going into my third month though and I am starting to have issues with the pill, all of which are related to SEVERE anxiety attacks. I am freaking out over absolutely nothing it seems like. I have not always had an easy time dealing with stress but I have never felt like this. It is always at night as well. For about a week I have been having breakdowns every evening. I have no motivation to do anything during the day either. The people around me are irritating me as well. It seems like I am just constantly having PMS issues. I have never felt like this in my life before. I think I am going to try switching to a different method.

I like this type of birth control because I don't feel like I am on a birth control at all and I feel like my normal self, where other birth control brands I've used have caused me to gain weight, have acne and mood swings.
