"i have been using tri-sprintec lo for about 2 weeks after switching from the nuvaring. i have had many symptoms from it. i have been breaking out with acne on my chest and a few on my face. which i never had a problem with any acne before. i have had breast tenderness, and occasional cramps, few headaches. i have also noticed that my hair has been shedding a lot more than usual and noticed that is a bad side effect. i rather have these symptoms than the ones i have had with the nuvaring. i was having something similar to hot flashes. i am going to call my doctor today and ask about it. i am going to try this one for about 2 months like i did the nuvaring and if it doesn&#039;t change then i will try something else."
