"was on sprintec from 04/16-10/16. gave me panic attacks . i would shake violently, feel chest pains and shortness of breath. i always had shortness of breath and i always felt very irritated and stressed out for no reason. periods heavy and painful. it gave me very clear skin and it prevented pregnancy. went off the pill 10/2016, my scalp hair fell out rapidly. i was diagnosed with androgenetic alopecia, or female pattern baldness, in 04/17. this is despite the fact that i have no family history of pattern baldness. my hair is half as thick as it was last year. scalp is always smelly and oily. i think sprintec messed up my hormones and now i am producing extra testosterone and, thus more dht and now i have &quot;pattern baldness&quot;. avoid!"
