"i&#039;m 18 &amp; have been using tri sprintec for the past 4 months mainly to try to get rid of my mild acne. in the first couple weeks, i was hopeful because i saw my face start to clear up &amp; wasn&#039;t experiencing any side effects. however, as i kept taking it my acne started to flare up again, along with cramps &amp; bloating pretty much all the time, mood swings, and slight weight gain (5 pounds). since month 2, i started getting cystic acne (which i&#039;ve never had before) on both my cheeks and especially in my chin area and along my jaw line, but my forehead stays almost completely clear. i thought my hormones just needed to get used to the pill but my skin has continued to get worse. i stopped taking tri sprintec &amp; already seen improvement in 3 days."
