"i was extremely skeptical about trying sprintec after reading the numerous online comments about it.  however, i was forced to switch to it for financial reasons.  however, after several months of using sprintec, i have not experienced one single negative side effect.  in fact, it has improved my periods tremendously!  i get no cramps, very little bloating, a very light period that only lasts 2-3 days, and no mood changes. i love it so far!  don&#039;t be deterred by the negative reviews out there...each birth control affects each person differently.  if you haven&#039;t had problems with the pill in the past, then maybe you won&#039;t with this one (like me)."
