birth control pills headaches

[amyh125]

I have been suffering major headaches for the last 2 years. Before headaches started I was on ortho-tri cyclen and changed it because of the cost. I have since been on about 4 other pills that were changed because one was discontinued and the others were cost or I just couldn't take it. Now after watching for patterns to my headaches, I see that I have no headaches during the week of my period and I feel great. I quit my job and have been in bed nearly 2 years on many medications to get rid of my headaches. Doctors tried treating anxiety, depression, muscle aches, headaches, with no relief. Could all that be from the pill? I was in the happiest part of my life when it all started. Now, I see it was when I changed pills. If I quit the pill, will it get better? I am now on Necon which is a bit better than the tri-sprintec I was on. Would it be the pill causing it since I feel great the week I am off it? Amy

Yes, I had a yellowish green discharge and went to 2 different ob-gyns who said there was nothing medically wrong. Now that I am on the necon that has disappeared. I also had a severe dry mouth and eyes in the mornings that got better after going to necon-I don't know if any doctor would agree with me that the pill caused it but I wonder how many females had experienced that too. I am going to see doctor on Thursday and hopefully I can get rid of my headaches after changing or eliminating the pill. Does anyone know how long it might take for the headache(=one never ending) to go away if I quit the pill? Big decision for me.
