I've been on Tri Sprintec for about 3 years now and I've had some side effects but never made an appt to change the pill. I have an appt for my yearly on July 12th and I want to bring it up to the doc. I have MAJOR mood swings right before my cycle starts and I threw up for awhile when I started a new pack. Also, I ALWAYS forget to take the darn pill! :eek: I go 1 or so and remember and have to double up which gives me major headaches! I started the pill because I have severe cramps and LONG, heavy periods so I definatly want to stick to something that will still control that.

I was thinking of going on the patch until I started reading this board and saw all the negative things about it especially DEATH! Then I started seeing TV commercials about people having a lawsuit against the mfg of the patch. So I think the patch is out of the question....

I know about the IUD but I haven't had any children yet and I'm afraid it may cause problems for when I decide that I'm ready. Also, I like the hormones or whatever that make your period consistent and short and cuts down on my cramps!

Any information would be greatly appreciated!! :)

Thanks!
