Hi, I have been taking birth control pills for less than a month, but the symptoms are bad, headache, dizziness, stomach pain, nausseas, no appetize and that's not normal on me. On top of all the symptoms I'm always nervous. I have stopped taking it, but the symptoms are still there, how long does it take to be out of the system?
thanks.

Active User, very eHealthy

I would have suggested stay on it for about 3 months in total. This will give your body plenty of time to adjust to the additional artifical hormones you are pumping into it.

Then and only then after that 3 months if nothing has improved visit your doctor and switch to another pill or another form of birth control
