Headache.. Pill Side Effect?
Posted: 02-07-06 18:14pm

I have recently gotten on a new kind of birth control pill. It was about six months ago. About these last 3 months or so I have developed terrible headaches almost everyday. Sharp pains that come and go frequently.... They are very distracting. They seem to get worse when I am on my period. I do not have a history of headaches. Has anyone else ever had headaches as a side effect of the pill.? If so, I would really appreciate your story and absolutely any advice!!

I am about to start bc pills. From other posts ive heard that you get bad mirgraines and headaches. If its that bad i'd call you doctor to make sure its normal. If they are distracting you i'd switch to something else. Good luck.

I get headaches alot. It's a normal side effect...But if they are really bad then I would tell your doctor and they can get you on another type of pill that might work with your body better.

Headaches and certian pills are common, they should be able to put you on another pill that has fewer headache related side effects.
