Tri-Sprintec and pills

I just started taking Sprintec on Sunday and it is now Friday. 3 days into it i felt lightheaded, I feel almost spaced out. Nothing seems to make me happy, I am cranky, i have headaches and my head just feels fuzzy. I finally realized by today that it must be the new pills. I am going to stop taking them and see by next week if it makes a difference. I feel very depressed and just not me. So far, i don't like these new pills.

I have been on Ortho Tri cyclin and Tri-Nessa both for years before starting Tri-Sprintec 5 mos ago... Both of the previous two had good effects.. I had no problems and felt barely any changes in my body... Now on Tri-Sprintec I am moody beyond belief for the entire three weeks of pills.. Also I have what seems like a constant dull cramping and headached have had some spotting.. I have gotten my period at the end of each pack but its heavier than with the other pills... And lasts about week as opposed to 5 days.. I never had acne on the others but on Tri-Sprintec I get many huge, painful pimples that start deep down and hurt the whole month.. And the last and most wonderful side effect is that I have gone from 125 to 140lbs in 5 mos.. I have NEVER weighed more than 125 and in fact since I was 15 years old to my current age of 32 I have stayed at 125 lbs.. I work out 5 days a week doing spin class weighs and jogging each day... I'm switching back to Ortho-tri-cyline at the end of my current pack... End of horror story..

I've been on Tri-Sprintec for a month and a half. My husband is going crazy due to my mood swings. Of course he gets the brunt of it compared to anybody else. One moment I am fine and the next I am yelling because I dropped the butter on the floor. Ten minutes later I've forgotten this instance and I'm crying for no apparent reason. I normally have normal to dry skin, and no acne (to very few) Lately my face is very itchy and I've had a lot of breakouts. I work in Law Enforcement, and have no problems with being straight forward and pushy, but lately I don't have it in me, I feel very depressed and a lot of self doubt. I also don't have a big appetite, I feel nauseas, and I do take the pill with food. I've also gained 10 pounds in the last month and a half. I don't know if this is a coincidence or if it's side effects from the birth control. I have also had a lot of headaches lately.
