birth control pill and being tired
| Thu, 10-21-2004 - 2:44pm |
DD (16) started on Ortho Tryclene Lo a couple of months ago and is really tired. I know the occassional hot flashes and nausea are normal but is this tiredness normal? If this is a common side effect, I will wait another month to see if it clears up.
Thanks.

No matter which pill i was on (4 kinds), i always have fatigue... Its been 3 years since i started taking BC pills and so i forget what pre-pill life was like. Not to mention i had mono before i started the pill, so its been even longer. This is a normal side effect that i am not sure will ever go away... My friends also share this lovely side effect. I'd suggest a better diet, sometimes what i eat has a big effect on my energy levels. Also, excerise will increase her energy too. Sorry to hear that she is suffering from this, it can really get me down sometimes... Goodluck!
