User Reviews for Sprintec

I have been taking Sprintec for a couple months now and for about a couple weeks of about 3 or four a day, I had severe cramps and had to be put on 500 mg painkillers, it has since subsided somewhat, but I now have the biggest clots that I have ever seen. I am constantly spotting, even though it is supposed to stop or regulate my period. I was placed on it by a couple of different doctors because I have been having excessive bleeding non stop. I was on another birth control pill - I forgot the name which was way better at stopping my period and getting me back on a monthly cycle. With Sprintec, my period is constant and I spot daily. My sex life is nonexistent as a result.

I have the same problem. Have been taking it "continuously" for several months to treat heavy, irregular periods. Now, I have spotting/bleeding every day (at least 3/4 of the month). Also, like other person who posted, I have large clots.

I was put on this pill to regulate my period but I was on my period when the doctor gave it to me. I have not stopped bleeding for 3 weeks straight. I started the pill a week ago and I find it gets worse the cramps the bleeding and blood clots. I'm emotionally drained and tired all the time and feel sick. I've been on a birth control to stop bleeding before and it worked within 2 to 3 days. I don't know when I'm going to stop bleeding hopefully soon. I'm getting so tired of it. I just want to feel normal again.

Like the other users I had absolutely no sex life for two reasons : like them my heavy period came back lasting longer than before with LARGE clots and my sex drive was pretty much non existent. I was switched to apri today so we will see how that goes!

I am on my second week of Sprintec. I started taking these because I already have the Paragard IUD and it was giving me heavy periods, cramping before, during, and after periods, and I also had very thick stringy discharge. My doctor put me on Sprintec temporarily because the extra boost of hormones should help my condition. So far, the side effects have been minor. I noticed it is starting to help with my acne, and my discharge has thinned but it also has an odor. Almost immediately after taking a pill, I get dry mouth and start to get hungry. Eating small meals or skipping meals is not an option after taking it. If I don't eat a decent sized meal to calm my hunger, I get weak with nausea. I also get somewhat jittery.

I have polycystic ovarian syndrome and have heavy bleeding. I didn't notice any side effects but it didn't stop the heavy periods. Took it for almost 3 years.

I used to have really heavy periods and Sprintec has really lightened my period. It has also taken away the cramps, bloating and diarrhea that my period used to cause. My back pain has gotten worse though and I have started to get cravings. All in all it is great at lightening my flow and making it to where I don't have any "surprises." It's the first pill I've tried and I don't plan on switching.

I have no sex drive and I am always spotting. The spotting has even gotten worse - now I have two periods a month. I have been taking the pill for almost a year, and the side effects have not subsided - they have gotten worse. I had to change birth control because of cost, I guess you get what you pay for.... Sorry Sprintec my body does not like you.

I am a 21 and I was put on this because of the abnormal bleeding I was having. I've been taking it for 3 weeks. I had a few of the other side effects that were listed. For the first week and a half, I was very emotional and just wanted to sleep and eat, but after I got through that, it was perfect. My face cleared up after the emotional roller coaster, I could manage my appetite, and could function regularly. I also had a little nausea in the afternoon because I take it right after breakfast. My cramps during ovulation were a little bit worse than before but tolerable and short lasting. I would definitely recommend this to anyone, but then again, it will affect everyone differently.

I have an almost non existent period that lasts for 2 days but randomly my period will start when I'm on the 3rd week of pills then it goes to normal again. They put me on Sprintec to help my moods. Helped a tiny bit. Been on it for 3 years now.
