One week on OTC-Lo and I don't feel right...

I started taking OTC-lo last week on the first day of my period.  I was OK at the start but now I'm feeling lethargic, achy, light headed, and nauseous.  Though I have read that nausea isn't uncommon for the first few months.   But are the other symptoms side effects of the pill?  Will they go away?  Should I stop taking it?

I've also had undiagnosed stomach/intestinal problems since last August...So I don't know if this is from the BC or if something else is going on?

Thanks for any help!

I've gone through tones of test for my stomach and they still dont know whats wrong with me.  But I'm not as lethargic and light headed as I was in the beginning of the week... so we'll see I guess.  Still so nauseous though.

I would look into your undiagnosed stomach problems.  Call your doc to report you symptoms and see what they recommend, perhaps a change of forumlation (pill) will do.
