"i have been taking sprintec for about 3 weeks, haven&#039;t even started my period pills yet. so far i am pleased with the results, i was getting the depo shot before i switched to sprintec. i switched because i never stopped bleeding on the depo shot for almost a year i bled. so far, no side effects, no weight gain, no headaches or nausea, and i actually think it is helping clear what little acne i had."
