"smokers please read:started taking sprintec roughly 2-3 weeks after i had a miscarriage. i used this birth control for less than a month. i never missed a day and took it on time every day. right before i started taking the &#039;sugar pill&#039; or the last week of pills for the month, i ended up getting super sick sypmtoms including: anxiety, loss of sleep, severe depression and fatal thoughts, very light headed almost passing out, nausea/vommiting just to name a few. i also ended up losing feeling in the right side of my body. turns out it was from smoking while taking the pill. i stopped taking it and after a 2 weeks finally got to my regular self. please be careful because smoking while on the pill can be deadly."
