birth control
"I just started taking Tri Sprintec after my last period, and I'm now on the week of placebo pills.  I was really worried that I was going to have all the terrible side effects everyone mentions.  So far I had have had no negative side effects, aside from some spotting during the 3rd week of pills that got heavier the closer I got to the placebo pills week.  I've had no weight gain, no nausea, no mood swings, and the best part is I don't have near the cramps I used to. My acne is a little bit better, but I read that it may take a few months for it to help my skin. I also read that the breakthrough bleeding is normal when you first start taking any form of birth control, so I'm going to continue taking it and hope that it decreases with time."
