"i had been on tri-sprintec for a year and a half after switching from ortho tri-cyclen lo because of the cost.  i only had to stop taking it because after all of this time i started having bad breakthrough bleeding. i couldn&#039;t  believe it after over a year!  i did experience weight gain and an increase in appetite earlier, but it went away after the first couple of months.  overall i really liked tri-sprintec until the last two months."
