"i started using tri sprintec 3 months ago. within the first week, i noticed that my face began to breakout more than usual. i am now using medicated face wash to decrease the breakouts, so i can&#039;t tell if they would still be as bad after the first month. i have also gained a noticeable amount of weight since starting the pill. i eat relatively healthy, and i workout 4-6 times a week. however, i feel extremely bloated, as if i have a whole other layer of skin on. the weight gain and the inability to lose it has been unbearable, which is why i&#039;m switching to a lower dosage pill. overall, tri sprintec wasn&#039;t all that bad - no breakthrough bleeding, no moodiness, no nausea, etc. the only complaint is that it did make me gain weight quick."
