No, it doesn't sound like something too
serious just yet. I'd put finding a doctor
on my first list of priorities and make an
appointment

Lybrel User Posted: 06-11-08 08:26am
I'm in my second month of Lybrel pills.
When I first began taking it...I didn't
have any side effects other than some
minor nausea and breat tenderness.
However, a few weeks ago I've had some
MAJOR side effects:
1. EXTREME nausea thru-out the day and
night
2. Breast tender to touch (sometimes I
can't even wear a bra)
3. Vaginal dryness (haven't been able to
produce my own fluid when having sex)
4. Fatigue
5. Occassional headaches
6. And worst of of CONSTIPATION!!!
I called my doc yesterday to explain what
was going on. I never had any break thru
bleeding on Lybrel (but it says its highly
likely too)...so I thought I may have been
pregnant. I took 3 pregnancy tests and all
3 came back negative (thank
goodness)....so my doctor pulled me off
Lybrel. She switched me to one called
Femcon fe 35...but I have decided to give
my body a break from all birth control
until I make sure these symptoms are
nothing more serious. I go in for my
physical on the 24th. So my advice to
those on Lybrel and not feeling your
normal selves while taking it...GET OFF!
