Cryselle has been effective in the sense that it does indeed prevent pregnancy, if it is used correctly. That being said, that's the only good thing I can say about it. I was on Sprintec for 8 years before my doctor and I decided to switch to Cryselle. I had started randomly having my period, despite using the pill correctly.

I was on Sprintec for 8 years before my doctor and I decided to switch to Cryselle. I had started randomly having my period, despite using the pill correctly. I've been on Cryselle for two years, and I am going back to Sprintec in a week, once my cycle ends. My acne has gotten worse, to the point that I have to have an oral antibiotic prescription to help balance my skin. I have very little sex drive, and have for the 2 years I've been on Cryselle. And...weight gain. This one has been lovely. I eat healthy and exercise at least 5x a week; a combination of cardio and strength training. I'm aware that lifting weights leads to muscle (duh), but I've gained almost 20 lbs in two years while on Cryselle, with very little lifestyle change involved. My weight always stayed roughly the same, give or take a couple pounds, while on Sprintec. I'm very disappointed and discouraged, and wouldn't recommend Cryselle to anyone.

I havenâ??t gotten pregnant and everything is perfectly normal except the fact I have absolutely no sex drive whatsoever and itâ??s hard for me to get turned on and iâ??m never â??in the moodâ?. This pill has had almost no effect on anything but my sex drive and itâ??s kind of weird how the pill was created to prevent pregnancy but makes me not even want to try.
