"i got perscribed this for mood swings during that time of the month rather than for birth control. so far it hasn&#039;t impressed me to much. i&#039;ve been on it for 3 weeks now and my skin is usually very clear, but within 2 days of starting sprintec i started severely breaking out and nothing will clear it up. as far as my mood swings, it works pretty well but every now and then i get really depressed and that&#039;s not normal for me. lastly i&#039;ve only thrown up like 3 times in my life but as soon as i started taking this i&#039;ve been super nauseous every day and every other night or so i wake up and have to throw up. maybe its affecting me more because i&#039;m 15 but it&#039;s not been too great."
