"i&#039;ve used tri-sprintec for about a year. i started it to have lighter periods &amp; to help get rid of acne. it&#039;s worked really well for me &amp; my periods last about 4 days &amp; are very light &amp; i&#039;ve had one or two breakouts since. so why not a higher score? well like all women, my period was going to coincide with a beach vacation &amp; i was not ok with that. i decided to skip a period &amp; instead of using my week 4 pills, i skipped right from week 3 to week 1 on a new pack... worst. idea. ever. i still got my period &amp; it&#039;s lasted for a month, not to mention i have a major acne breakout &amp; no not just one or two. i&#039;m hoping things will go back to normal soon &amp; i warn everyone if this pill is working well for you, don&#039;t skip a period intentionally."
