is the pill making me sick?

by s_d123, Jun 12, 2007 12:00AM
since i've been on the pill i've been sick quiet alot. if i miss a day i feel the affects hard. sometimes when im at work and i eat during my breaks i start to feel sick and less then an hour of eating im rushing to the toliets to vomit.
i do have the problem where i never eat on time and have big time delays between meals. i have noticed that when i have taken medication and have not eaten my hands start to shake and my belly starts to hurt, so i tend to think that its becasue i need to eat. so i eat and eat full, but then i feel sick and start shaking some more and vomit it all up again.
is the pill doing something to my body or does the pill just rely on you having constant food in you stomach. please help me coz i can't take it anymore and i know im not pregnent so i shouldn't be sick like this.

be careful - my birth control (the patch, a lot stronger) gave me seizures that started out by feeling sick.

but i'm the only one recorded that that's happened to, and nausea is a common side effect of birth control so you're probably in the clear.

but personally i'm a little against birth control after that

I didn't throw up, but I felt sick often.  It made me feel tired and depressed.  I was on a couple of different pills and the patch.  It could be that it is the pills.  Ask your doctor.  If you need to be on them, then you may just need to switch to a different kind.

I was on the pill and I get chronic stomach aches, I don't vomit, but often gag and feel the need to. If I don't eat when I take my pill, I feel lightheaded and get spells where I loose sight for two or three seconds, and then it comes back. Also, if I don't eat when I take it I feel sick all day.
Apparently these are all normal side effects and should go away after having been on the pill for three months. If you've been on longer, I suggest you talk to your doctor. Regardless, you should mention it to her.
Good luck!

I was on a pill that I loved for 5 years. I just recently got off of it after being sick everyday for 5 months...the pill turned on me..you should get off it if you have been on it for more than a month and are still sick, it's not healthy...try a different one or use condoms you will see relief in 2 days after being off of it.
