pill change side effects ? Posted: 04-21-08 10:39am
I have just recently started taking Ortho
Cyclen. I had been on Ortho Tri-Cyclen
from November 2005 until February 2008. I
had to switch to Ortho Cyclen due to
spotting issues. I started my first pack
of Ortho Cyclen towards the end of
February. I didn't notice any changes,
everything seemed the same. The next pack
I started, which was towards the end of
March brought changes. I usually take my
pill at noon. So, I took my pill (the
first one of the new pack) and later that
night I got a very intense headache in the
base of my head on the left side. When I
would walk, my teeth felt like they were
going to fall out of my head. I went to
bed early that night and by 3:00 am I was
feeling sick to my stomach. I got up a
few times, thinking I had to throw up.
About the 4th or 5th time I got up, I
threw up. And threw up 3 times in about a
3 hour period. After that I felt fine.
Yesterday was my day to start another pack
and I was nervous! I got that same type
of headache a few days earlier and some
Advil took care of it. Last night/early
morning at about 4:00 am I started feeling
funny and once again threw up. However it
was just one time of throwing up this
time. Could this just be my body's way of
getting used to a new pill???

I just came across this. How are you
feeling now?
My first inclination would be to say that
it's not from the pill. Are you sure you
aren't sick or anything?
If it is from the pill, you need to stop
taking it and see a doctor asap! That
could be a warning sign of blood clotting
or some other kind of bad reaction.

I'm feeling fine now. I just get an
upset stomach & have had the throwing
up issues on the day that I start the
newest pack of pills.
Blood clotting would cause this type of an
issue?
