Plan B makes me feel like death.

My partner and I had sex Sunday night, and the condom broke. Monday morning he and I picked up Plan B (Levonorgestrel), which I took at 8:30 am and again at 8:30 pm (it's two pills to be taken 12 hours apart).
Since shortly after taking the first pill, I've felt horrible. My head feels like it is going to implode, I feel exhausted, I'm dizzy and nauseated, and there are times when I feel like I can barely stand up. Dizziness, nausea, tiredness, and headaches are listed as possible side effects, so I'm not terribly worried. I feel horrible, but I'm hoping that means the pills are working.
I have been experiencing side effects full force for almost two days. I realize that this is going to vary from person to person, but does anyone have perhaps a rough estimate of how long side effects should last?
Thanks.

The way you are feeling with Plan B is VERY normal. In fact, my doctor prescribed me an anti-nauseau medication to take with the Plan B, because most women become very sick to their stomach.
I had taken the anti-nauseau medication and I STILL felt like crap.
So I just want you to let you know that this feeling is part of the Plan B experience.... not pleasant.
