I've been on the pill a while, and I was
wondering if taking the last 7 pills in
the dialpak are necessary? I heard they
were just "reminder pills" which are meant
to keep you on a schedule of taking the
pill, but aren't really necessary...
I haven't been taking these because when I
do, I can't sleep at night. I haven't
been having sex either- i'm a virgin!!!

Yes, they are "reminder" pills (they are
placebos, and therefore have no hormones
or chemicals that will affect you), and
pill users are encouraged to take them so
that they will be in the habit of taking a
pill each and every single day.
Question--why can't you sleep at night
when you take them??

That's odd! They are just placebos!
Empty pills. They shouldn't have any
effect on you whatsoever. Strange.
Maybe you just feel like that because it
is right before your period. I dunno.
But, anyway, no, you don't have to take
them. They are empty.
