I am not sure if it is the change from Ortho Tricylin lo to this one but after being on sprintec i felt like i was pregnant after the third week. I did get my period the first month on it but it was different. It lasted for only 3 days and I had spotted a few days prior to it. I have been extremely tired, like as if i am pregnant and I go to the bathroom just about every hour, which is not normal. I am nauseated all day long and feel a sense of nervousness throughout the day. I also get dizzy spells and have a higher level of appetite. My period is suppose to be here in 2 weeks, if it is not then I can only think that i am pregnant, but if it does come down i am switching back to the Ortho....this is really bad that a pill can make you feel like you are pregnant as i have heard some of the ladies on the site say so, when you are on a pill to avoid getting pregnant.

I was taking Ortho Tri lo for about 6 months and was fine with it. I went to the pharm. and they asked if I wanted the generic tri lo sprintec..I thought sure why not save a couple bucks. I took four days of pills and thought I was going to die...really. My whole left side of my body went numb and was swollen, my veins in my legs and neck felt like they were going to explode, my heart was racing so hard I could see it thumping through my shirt. The thought of food made me want to puke. On top of all that I had this horrible nervous feeling that I could not shake. I would find myself at work shaking and talking like a crazy person. I did get my ortho tri lo back but after these 5 days I am scared to take anything! :(
