"i have been taking sprintec for 9 months now and can&#039;t wait for my prescription to be up so i can switch. the first 2 months i experienced extreme loss of appetite, depression, suicidal thoughts, panic, anxiety and insomnia. the next 4 months i levelled off. my periods were painless and light! 2 months ago the bloating and weight gain began. i can&#039;t eat anything without feeling bloated/sick. i wake up in the middle of the night with menstrual cramps all throughout the month. i have put on 30 lbs in 2 months. i am an active person and a work 40 hrs a week. i eat a raw vegan diet, and i practice yoga daily. this amount of weight gain doesn&#039;t add up. the one positive about sprintec is it prevents pregnancy, but i hate this roller coaster ride"
