"i started taking sprintec october 2016, this was my first time on birth control so i did not know what to expect. the first few months were normal as if i wasn&#039;t on anything. however, i did start gaining weight and my periods started coming later than they were suppose to. i started feeling down a lot more often and it totally killed my sex drive which sucks because that is why i started taking it but it did do its job so i can&#039;t really complain."
