User Reviews for Tri-Sprintec (28) oral

I hate this medication. I have mood swings, I am always tired, I have gained weight, and I am always hungry! All I want to do is sleep now, and I used to work out and be active all the time.

So i have been on for about 8 or so months, it works pretty well for controlling when i start my period. As far as my emotions and mood goes, it is absolutely TERRIBLE! I recently realized that my horrible mood swings, anxiety and crying has been because of the pills. I cry so randomly, my mood will go from happy to sooo angry for no reason, my days will be completely ruined for no particular reason at all, it has caused many fights with my husband. I seem to be tired a lot and i definietly am more hungry often. I started realizing it might be the pills so i looked it up and i see that a lot of other woman have the exact same side effects as i do. I'm definetely going to consider getting off of this pill asap!Read More Read Less

This was one of the worst birth control medications that I have ever been on. It caused insane mood swings that I had never had before. I would cry over anything and everything. I got to be very combative and honestly it almost broke me and my boyfriend up it got so bad. Please take extreme caution before taking this especailly if you're a very emtional person in the first place.

Please take my advice when I say, don't take it. It's a horrible drug. I have had very bad side effects. The side effects are minor at first but then they get much worse. Prepare yourself for headaces, mood swings out of no where, no energy, pain ful during sex, and worse of all, pain when you use the bathroom and may find some hevy blood. These side effects may not seem that big of deal to most of you, but I don't think you want to be in the pain that I am. I am switching meds as soon as my doc makes sure that it is the medicine thats making me bleed and making me sick. Read More Read Less

I feel great on this birth control - my mood is not at all affected, nor is my libido. Plus it is not expensive since it is generic. It also helps clear up my skin. The only problem I had at first was not tolerating my contacts well, but after a couple months they are totally fine now.

I got switched from trinessa to Sprintec and oh my god never in my life have I had such a mood change.I was on it a little more than a month. I couldn't control how I feeling. One minute Im crying my eyes out the next I wanted to hit something. My mind would be racing with thoughts that kept me up at night. I also noticed I would have cramps like I was about to start. SO yeah I went back to trinessa.

I have been using Tri-Sprintec for a little over a year and have very little problems. I found that setting an alarm specifically for this medicine can help you take it at the same time, impeding human error. It can be frustrating, however, because some side effects of this drug are also early signs of pregnancy. Preventing human error is one way of giving you confidence with certain side effects.
