"i was prescribed tri-sprintec when i was 15 years old to regulate my period. i turn 20 in two weeks and have been taking this birth control consistently. i have had minimum issues (occasional breast tenderness-- no big deal). all birth controls have their side effects but to say that this would alter my decision to take this birth control is bizarre. i have sex with my partner about every other day and we never use condoms. however, he only &quot;finishes&quot; in me once or twice every few months. even then, i have (luckily) had no problems. i have had no weight gain or mood swings, or any other side effects. it has also kept my face perfectly clear since it doubles as an acne- fighter. very impressed and would highly recommend to younger people."
