"i was previously on microgestin fe 1/20 for close to 3 years. this worked well after a period of adjustment and never had any bad side effects, just a little weight gain. around april/ may of last year, i went to get my refill and noticed that the packaging changed and i started getting cystic acne around my chin. i finally switched over to sprintec around mid december. everything was fine aside from the general nausea that went away after a few weeks. my acne flares got less frequent and much smaller so that worked well after about 2 months on it. but i started to see more and more hair loss coinciding with when i started this medication and it&#039;s gotten worse. i have decided to stop it after today. hoping this helps!"
