"I have been on this birth control for 6 months, and have had no problems with it. This is my first time on birth control. Overall taking a pill everyday is sometimes hard to remember, but I set my alarm on my phone to go off at the same time everyday, so that helps.

"The worst birth control I have ever been on. My pharmacy stopped carrying Sprintec and put me on this instead saying it was exactly the same. A few weeks after starting this, I developed the most painful cystic acne of my life. I highly recommend avoiding this at all costs if you are prone to break outs."
