Q: Birth control side effects
asked by: lavachava on April 6th, 2009

I started using Ortho TriCylan at the end of last month. After my first week I began to get very lightheaded and my vision seemed to get darker if I stood up for longer than 15 minutes or so. I had been on this pill several years earlier but never had any side effects. It began to effect my work so I stopped using them about two weeks into my first pack, which was about a week ago. I am still having bouts of nausea and lightheadedness, along with very mild cramping (feels like gas pain).

I'm not sure if these symptoms are from my hormones being out of whack or what. Is it possible that my body is still messed up from taking birth control for such a short period of time?
