Side effects?
| Wed, 03-03-2004 - 12:06pm |
I have been on tricyclen for just over 2 years now and i didn't really have any problems with it. But lately i have started to wonder if it is really the cause for a lot of my health problems.i am always feeling sick and have headaches. ANyways i have also noticed that for the last 2 months wierd things happen right after my period ends and i start takingh te pill again. LIke this month i had my period nad started my new pack of pills on sunday..my period was gone on monday..i took my pill on monday. All day monday i felt kinda sick and had pains in my stomach for no real reason. then this morning i wake up and i have a brown discharge and bad cramps. this is the 2nd month it has happened. could this mean my pills aren't working right anymore? what else could cause this? it usually only lasts a day maybe 2.

Yes, it’s possible that your body has changed enough that OTC isn’t right for you any more. If you have been taking your pills correctly I don’t think you have anything to worry about as far as being protected is concerned but irregular bleeding is a different matter. I would give my doc a call if I were you and see what s/he says. It may be that it’s time for a pill change.
Good luck.
