Q: Does Anyone Else Feel...loopy?
asked by: exileinLA on June 16th, 2005

I've been taking ortho-lo for 8 months. Recently i've been in a daze in which I can't seem to focus; i'm a bit dizzy; and light-headed.
I'm a little nauseous once in a while, but I attribute that to the dizziness.

Has anyone else experienced anything like this while taking ortho-lo or any other of the other varieties of bc?

Thanks for your help.
Cheers.

I am on ortho-lo and I have the same thing...Ive been on it for about 5 months and I have asked my doctor about it and she just said that it was minor side effects and if anything got serious to where I am so light headed to where I am feeling very faint or passing out to come back and see her.

You know, i'm feeling the exact same way. I have been on alesse for about 5 months now and I have felt sooo different both mentally and physically.

About a month after I started taking the pills, I started feeling extremely exhausted (i still do). I also had a diminished libido (which really sucks for both me and my husband... We're newlyweds). I feel literally like I could sleep all day long. I'm also moody alot now and my breasts are very sensitive.

At first, I didn't contribute this to the pills; I thought that something must be wrong with me. But the more I read, the more i'm starting to think that it is my pill causing all of this. I'm considering switching...What do you guys think??

Feeling Loopy
I've been on alesse for about a week now and I do feel a bit loopy and dizzy, almost high. It's weird. I went out last night and didn't even want to drink because I felt that the combination would somehow make me feel even more drunk. I guess it's good because on other pills i've been angry and on alesse, I feel giggly and happy. My breasts feel tender, my body aches, i'm sleepy and I feel some bloating, but I guess all pills have their side effects. I hope my period is light because I suffer heavy periods with severe cramping and that's the reason why i'm on the pill. I gain weight easily and I hope I don't gain any on alesse.
