User Reviews for Tri-Sprintec

I'm 16 years old and was put on Tri-Sprintec for my terrible acne condition. I'm on the 10th day and have experienced little to no side effects. Although my appetite has increased immensely, and I have become exceptionally sleepy, the pill is sort of helping my acne. I also hoped the pill could increase my breast size, but no difference (YET). I started off the pill weighing 104 pounds, I'm now 107 pounds. No vomiting, but I get headaches constantly. No mood swings, but I do feel more anti-social. I take it at night so it does it's job throughout the night. I would recommend the pill to anybody.

I read a lot of reviews on this product that had me scared to try this pill. BUT one thing I noticed is that the majority of people who were on Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo or whatever other product that is the 'name brand' version on this had the most problems with it. Anyway, I am on my 3rd week. I have not experienced any side effects that I could notice, seriously not one. I still feel the same way I did before I got on it. I'm taking this pill to regulate my cycle because it's so irregular and also for acne, which was most likely cause by imbalanced hormones. I haven't broken out since I have been on this pill.

I used to take the Depo shot but wanted something to clear my skin. These reviews scared me! My first week on the pack I broke out a little bit more than usual and was very moody, I kept telling myself that its my body getting used to the hormones. And sure enough, after my first week my skin is clear (a few blemishes from sleeping with makeup on) my mood is great, just like its always been, and intimacy with my boyfriend isn't a problem. I'm not experiencing the vaginal dryness. I'm starting my second pack and I'm glad I gave this a try. Ladies, take Vitamin A daily, 10,000 IU this should help with the skin clearing! Best of luck!

I've been taking Tri-Sprintec for a few weeks now and I have been breaking out and I usually have great skin. I usually sleep a good 8-9 hours a night and now I'm having A LOT of trouble sleeping and I wake up without being able to fall back to sleep after 3-5 hours. I have felt very nauseous and I have even thrown up a few times. I will be switching to something else very soon.

I have only been on this pill since Sunday (taken 3 pills so far) but so far it's great. My acne cleared up after the first night and I feel so much more relaxed and at peace (that might be because I always have a pleasant drowsy feeling which I never heard of happening on a birth control pill). I sleep really well now, my skin looks great and I have no side effects. Only thing is if I don't take care of myself by sleeping, eating or drinking enough water, I really notice now whereas before I could just ignore it. Besides that this pill has been great so far. Will try to post an update because I'm not sure how it will be once I get into the other pill colors (or the next few weeks).

I had perfect skin until 2 weeks after starting this pill. I continued to take it because my gyno said it would take 3 months for my body to fully adjust to the hormones. 5 months later I am still breaking out on a regular basis.

While this is only my first week on this (will take my 7th pill tomorrow), I gotta say I'm impressed.

I'm almost finished with my 3rd pack. I have nice skin again, and my periods are regular. No Weight Gain (I sort of wanted some) and my breasts have gotten somewhat fuller but that's NO complaint. I have had no side effects on this pill that effects my life, the 3rd week my breast get a little tender but I'm not in horrible pain. I think I'll be staying with it.
