"I just started my 3rd cycle of the sprintec pills. This is my experience. 

1st month: nausea, emotional, sensitive breasts, and terrible acne.  
2nd: acne flare-up at the beginning of the month and similar symptoms to first month.
3rd:another acne flare-up, this time the break-out is worser than month 2.

 For me the biggest problem is the acne. I have struggled with acne my whole life, so it's nothing new to deal with. However, the worse experience I had with acne was when I was 13-15 years old; on sprintec, my skin has reversed itself to my teenage years -- maybe even a little worse.  I talked with my dermatologist and physician and both told me to stay optimistic about the future of my skin - saying clearer skin comes around month 4."
