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.
