Ethinyl estradiol / norgestimate
"I have been on Sprintec for a month and a half so far.  Let me say that I have tried over 15 kinds of birth control in the last 10 years and usually have horrible side effects.  So far, I have had none from Sprintec.  In fact, even though I have severe endometriosis, I was put on Sprintec due to untreatable acne and oily skin which had developed only in the last year.  After being on Sprintec for 2 weeks only, my skin had cleared up.  I had been seeing 2 dermatologists for the last year who tried many different medications and nothing worked to clear up the acne!  Also, I had been a little depressed (also due to some hormone sensitivity) for the last couple of months and that has cleared up very quickly as well.  So far, so good!"
