"sprintec was the first birth control that i started taking when i was 17. i immediately got cystic  back acne (like really bad) a month after taking it. i didn&#039;t think anything of it, so i just continued to take it and i thought that the  back acne was a new thing for me. sprintec gave me my boobs, i had nothing before and i am now a 36c. though, i have also gained about 30 pounds since i started taking this four years ago (most of the weight gain i contribute to my laziness and poor eating and just growing). four years later, my cystic acne is still horrible, i have scars like crazy on my back. recently, i have been feeling not depressed but not happy and i started spotting like every day. i just switched over to tri-sprintec to hopefully help."
