Hi, I started Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo 1 week ago for mild acne. Since I started it I've been experiencing nausea every day and strange cravings. (I know these sounds like pregnancy symptoms but that's not possible.) Just wondering if anyone else experienced these side effects?

Thanks

Especially when you first start a pill, it's common for you to experience lots of side effects like that. Try to stick it out a while, it will probably subside soon. If symptoms don't go away within 3 months, you might want to switch to a different pill.

Also, you can try taking the pills at a different time of day, that can alleviate nausea.

ortho lo cravings
I experienced pregnancy like symptoms especially cravings. I started taking my pills at night time and all those symptoms went away. (Especially the cravings). Hope this helps.
