pill and alcohol causing sickness

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.

i've been on the yaz for a while now, and the same thing happen to me! It could be one drink, and the rest of the night i'm nauseous. let me know if you did change birth controls, if the sickness when u drink gets better.

I have the same thing happen to me at different stages of my life while on birth control. It doesn't matter when I take the pill. I have also tried different pills and the only one that does not make me sick even after one drink is the "mini pill" -- the one that has no estrogen. I have tried pills with even the smallest amount of estrogen and they would still make me sick when I would drink. The only way you are going to be able to even enjoy one drink and still be on birth control is to use progesterone only birth control. The mini pill is statistically less effective than the estrogen and progesterone pills but if you combine them with an additional form of birth control (pull out, condom, spermicide, etc) they can be an effective method. You just have to remember to take them at the exact same time every day. You can also look into an implant or Merena since they are also progesterone only. I'm so glad to read other people have this problem. I thought I was alone!!
