"I have been on Sprintec for 8 months now and was switched to it because insurance paid for the generic and not the name brand so I went from Ortho Cyclen to Sprintec. Since the second month I started Sprintec I have had the worst cramps I have ever had and a headache the entire week of my period. I have switched to Ortho Tri Cyclen Lo and have noticed a huge difference in my cramps and headache, they are practically gone. The mood swings I had on Sprintec was unbearable also. "
