Nausea
| Wed, 07-21-2004 - 7:42pm |
I have been on Tri Vora (ortho tri) for four months now and it seems to me the nausea is getting worse every month. Is this possible? My Dr. said she would put in a perscription for estrogen low... what side effects could I get from that pill? Do you think It would be a smart switch? Is Nausea alll the time on tri vora a common symptom?
Thanks for any advice!

Interestingly, I just started taking Yasmin (1 week) and have had no nausea with it...When I was on the Patch...I was nauseaus 24 hours a day...and it was BAD. I just wanted to die.

Nausea as a side effect of beginning or switching pills is a fairly common, but not continuously and after 4 months! You doc. is right to try a pill switch. OTC-Lo (is that the one?) might work. Perhaps some OTC-Lo users will post their experiences. I hope you are feeling better soon.
Good luck,

As others have suggested, you may want to try taking your pills at bedtime, or with a glass of milk or a little food like saltine crackers so that the pill isn't in an empty stomach. If you try these things and the nausea persists past the first couple of months, you can ask for a pill change to something with less estrogen, which may help. And sometimes it's not the estrogen, but that particular combination of hormones and any pill would do! You'll have to see, as we all react to different pills in different ways.
Good luck!
