"i talked to my doctor about getting on the pill mainly for birth control. i also asked to be on a pill that will help clear my moderate acne and not make it worse. i was given tri lo sprintec. after reading the mostly awful reviews about it i was really nervous to start taking it but i thought i&#039;d give it a shot and if it was awful talk to my doctor about an alternative. i&#039;m now on day 7 and there hasn&#039;t been any major complications. the only negatives are that i get headaches and occasional nausea (not severe) and as far as my acne, it hasn&#039;t really made a change. my doctor said it will take a few months to adjust so i&#039;ll see how things go but so far it&#039;s not too bad. gave it half stars because i&#039;m only on day 7."
