"I took Sprintec for 6 months and finally had to get off of it.  I had horrible mood swings, started getting bad acne, weight gain, and my periods were heavy and I never new when it would start.  One month it would start while I was on the regular pills still, the next month it would start the last two days of the sugar pills.  The worst thing was the mood swings.  On my other pill I had tried, I never had that problem."
