"i&#039;m a healthy 26 yr old. i took sronyx for about two or three months, which i had to stop due to the intense migraines it caused. i was then switched to sprintec. i&#039;m was on it for almost two years. i must say it was absolutely effective at preventing pregnancy. no scares. and even when i missed a day and had to double up (which only happened once or twice). for the first three months or more, i had no issues other than fatigue. then the other side effects came. acne, extremely dry skin, hair loss.  i experienced a significant amount of weight gain, which i was unable to lose, even though i run and work out regularly. and i got mood swings and depression to the point of suicidal thoughts! i thought i was going crazy. but everyone is diff."
