"switched from ortho-cyclen (sprintec) bc of decrease in libido. have trialed twice &amp; both times have had weight gain (10-15lbs), increased acne (i don&#039;t normally break out), and uncontrollable emotions. i literally would cry all month long, not just the week before my period. i have been super irritable &amp; have unpredictable mood swings. after this month (the 3rd month of taking) i will be discontinuing &amp; attempting a non-hormonal contraceptive - as i am prone to depression &amp; this medication is junk."
