"i&#039;ve been using ortho tri cyclen lo for the last two years. i absolutely love the pill; it got rid of my acne and i never experienced negative side effects. that being said, i can&#039;t say the same for tri lo sprintec.



recently, my insurance only covers sprintec. my doc switched me and assured me it&#039;s the same exact pill. 

i&#039;ve been using it for a week. i&#039;m beginning to break out on my face, which i could live with. what i can&#039;t live with is the relentless and extremely painful abdominal cramps and bloating i&#039;m experiencing.



these are the worst cramps i&#039;ve had in my entire life.



after doing research, i&#039;ve found many women share a similar experience with myself. also, ortho and sprintec aren&#039;t exactly the same. so, beware of switching to it."
