Side effects of Apri birth control? -
04-23-2013, 12:02 AM
Last night, I started the birth control pill called Apri. I heard it is better to take birth control at night as it can cause nausea. Within an hour I did indeed feel nauseous and it continued until I went to bed three hours later.
This morning, I woke up nauseous and as I was taking a shower I started to feel very lightheaded and had to turn the water ice cold so that I didn’t faint in the shower. After the shower, and for the rest of the morning, I continued to feel nauseous and light headed and my arms and legs began to shake. I even started having pains on the left side of my chest over my heart.
As I was driving to work, the lightheadedness disappeared but my legs were still shaky. I even started to get leg cramps in my left leg but it only last about 10 minutes and I haven’t felt it again today.
By noon, all of my symptoms disappeared.
Now that it is approaching night time, I have a mild headache.
Is this normal? Please tell me these symptoms go away asap.
