"with every online review you have to take with a grain of salt. everyones bodies are different. i was prescribed with tri-sprintec when i was 15 and have been using it for the last 5 years. i rarely had any skin problems, besides the monthly pop-ups everyone gets. stress, food, genetics and physical health are contributors to breaking out too. i didn&#039;t gain any weight, i didn&#039;t get sick (unless i took it on an empty stomach), and for being sexually active for a few years, with this pill i haven&#039;t gotten pregnant. there are several reviews out there that are horrible, but my experience has been a good one. i am sorry for those who experiences otherwise but don&#039;t let all the negativity deter you from choosing something that could be good for you."
