Acne
"I&#039;m 18 and have had pretty awful acne since I was 12. My doctor prescribed Tri-Sprintec mainly for the acne, but also for period regulation and birth control. In the 2 weeks I&#039;ve been taking it, I haven&#039;t experienced any of the mood swings or breast tenderness/growth that others have. I&#039;ve gained a few pounds, but I&#039;m home from college and so eating poorly and not exercising, so I can&#039;t really blame that on the birth control. My acne has gotten 10 times worse since starting, with lots of breakouts on my forehead, chin, and around my mouth which used to be completely clear. As frustrating as it is, I&#039;ll stick with it for a few months and hope that my body adjusts and the acne clears up!"
