Sprintec (ethinyl estradiol / norgestimate) "This absolutely ruined my life, never ever again will I take them. I was on them for Hypothalamic amenorrhea. They caused me to have serious mood swings and be mad at people for no reason. I was always depressed and had no motivation to the point where I couldn’t even shower, and worst of all they caused me to constantly be hungry and binge eat at night until I vomit, and the insomnia is absolutely dreadful, I’m dead tired but can never sleep well. These ruined my life and didn’t help me get my period at all."

Sprintec (ethinyl estradiol / norgestimate) "I have been on Sprintec for about 2 months. My specialist recommended this after I was on the generic Seasonale and had a huge trouble with constant breakthrough bleeding. Well, Sprintec is not much different. I have been bleeding non-stop for the last 2 weeks. What's different from Seasonale is: the cramps during the endless breakthrough bleeding came in waves and were much worse than period cramping. Sprintec, the cramps are more often and less severe. The bleeding is about the same, I still get blood on my panties, making me angry. I'm gonna fill up my prescription one or two more times and see if anything changes for the better. If not, then I guess I need a checklist on every birth control I can try and see which one is best. Ugh."
