"i was put on sprintec in order to control my acne. it wasn&#039;t too bad until about the third week of my first pack. i began bleeding, and it wasn&#039;t spotting, more like a full on period. this lasted for 2 weeks. my periods have become much heavier, &amp; my cramps are worse than before. as for my acne, it has gotten considerably worse. i am on my third pack, &amp; i am completely unhappy with this pill."
