pill and alcohol causing sickness
Posted: 06-09-08 21:15pm

once in awhile I like to have a few drinks and my grad celebration is coming up so I would like to have some wine or something but everytime I drink when I'm taking my pill, even after one drink I end up either throwing up or almost throwing up. And this didn't happen when I wasn't on birth control or when i have my period. I've tried drinking before I take the pill and drinking after I take the pill and I still end up being sick. Is this normal? and is there some way to stop it?

Some people have some naseous reactions while on the pill- when I was on a certain pill I would be nauseous quite often, and throw up if I ate bad things. It could just be that the pill is making you more sensitive than usual.

I switched pills and the nausea went away- perhaps you could switch too?

You could also try taking your pill at a different time, like at night instead of in the morning. Some people have had success with that, too.

I take it at night so maybe I could take it in the morning, but would that cause spotting?

Probably not- it might if you're really sensitive to changes, but it shouldn't make any difference.
