"i haven&#039;t taken birth control for about 10 yrs. i decided to start because my pms is severe at times. i started sprintec and about a day later i began to feel nauseous. i was sick for 3 solid weeks. i expected some changes considering i was disrupting my body system. after the nausea ended i felt amazing for a whole week, then it got really bad. i started getting irritable, i didn&#039;t want to be around my son or husband. i didn&#039;t want to work or do anything really. everything made me angry, then i started having feelings of hopelessness. that&#039;s when i stopped taking it. i have read that it works for some people, but it did not work for me.
