I called my doctor and the nurses said they are all the same just different names. it makes me nervous they are switching me and not being constant should i try this new one ? or make sure i get tri nessa back?!!? ## Hello, I've personally been through the same situation you have.

Since then I had horrible breakouts and started experiencing a lot of anxiety/migraines. Those symptoms didn't occur overn...

I have been on this pill since March and only got my period the first month I was on it and it was very light and only lasted a couple of days. haven't gotten it since. I have taken tests...all negative. Any one else experiencing this? ## Since there are hormonal based contraceptive tablets, both of these symptoms can be normal side effects of using the medication. There is really no harm in skipping your menstrual cycle, there are even contraceptives on the market that are specifically designed to let you skip for several months in a row. However, if you are concerned, you should consulted your doctor. Are there any other questions? ## I probably started taking this in April/May. I can't remember exactly. For the first three packs I didn't get a period. On the fourth pack I...

Does Fruta Planta decrease the effectiveness of birth control pills? I'm taking Junel 1/20. ## Fruta Planta is an herbal supplement, that means that it isn't tested to see if it has an effect or interaction with other medications. The listed ingredients are: fruit lemon, fruit gum, bitter gourd, Papaya, benefit fruit and spiral. You should also be informed that the FDA has found it to contain an unlisted drug ingredient, Sibutramine and has banned it being sold and used in the U.S. There is no miracle weight loss product on the market and even the ones that do help, such as prescription medications, only do so much and you cannot keep taking them, forever, to keep the weight off. If you are concerned about losing weight, you should talk to your doctor and follow a proper diet an...

I normally take them continously for 3 months and then have a cycle that last week but now it seems to be causing a cycle every month.

I've been on birth control pills for few months now. I was finishing a pack and having my 7 day break to allow the period but it was late 3 days, so do I still start the next pack on the 7th day or should I wait till my period is finished? And if I take it on the 3rd day of my period will it stop it or prolong it? ## Hello, Bess! How are you? You should still start on the 7th day, as scheduled and your period should stop, in the time frame it normally would. Other typical side effects of this medication, as reported by the U.S. FDA, may include nausea, dizziness, headache, irritability and weight changes. If your period continues past it's normal duration, you should consult your doctor. Is there anything else I can help with?

What can I do to prevent weight gain while using Lexamil? I am also taking birth control which adds to the possibility of gaining weight. ## Lexamil contains the active ingredient Escitalopram, which is an SSRI antidepressant and it isn't known to cause significant weight gain. Compared to taking an oral contraceptive, you are more liable to gain weight from the birth control, rather than the Lexamil. However, you can help keep any changes, from either medication, under control by watching your diet to make sure you aren't eating far more than you should, stick with lower fat foods and get plenty of exercise. Have you spoken to your doctor about your concerns? They will also be able to advise of ideas that may be useful to you.

hi there do u have to always take this pill for life and if u stop will u put back on the weight and also can u take it with taking birthcontrol pills ## From the limited information I can find, there is a product on the market that is called Banital, it is actually just an herbal supplement that is claimed to aid in weight loss, however, as such, it is actually not proven to do so. And, based on that, I can't really provide you with any other information on it. As to taking it with birth control, I'd suggest checking with your doctor or pharmacist, before using it, because there are some other substances that can cause them to be less effective. Does anyone have more information on this?

My cycle started and it's been 6 days. Tomorrow I will start the sugar pills, can I skip that and start a new pack? Will that stop my cycle? I didn't want to take the sugar pills, I thought that would keep my cycle longer? I have been on for 3 months and this is my first cycle. It skipped 2 periods. What should I do! Please help!!! ## It can be normal to experience irregular cycles for the first 3 months, or so, of taking an oral contraceptive, according to FDA reports. You may also experience nausea, dizziness, mood changes, headache, and weight changes. Skipping the period week could also cause more irregularities, according to NIH studies. The best thing to do would be to take them, as prescribed, and allow your cycles to occur, as they should, for several months. How are you...

How do I lose weight while on esperide? Have been on esperide for about 4 months and I feel great. But since I've been on esperide I've struggled to lose weight. Is there a way to lose weight while using esperide? ## Hello, Lois! How are you? According to reports by the U.S. FDA, this class of medications is well known as causing weight gain as a side effect, you may also experience nausea, dizziness, headache and mood swings. Unfortunately, there isn't really a way to prevent it, or lose much, while still taking it, but you can try to control it by eating a healthy, low-fat diet and getting lots of exercise. How much have you gained? Or are you just at a stalemate on losing?

Take linsopril 5mg1a day bupropion sr 150mg 2a day zonisamide 100mg 4a day birth control 1a day. Lost close to 20 lbs befor linsopril, but haven't been on it a month yet. Seem to have stalled out. Weight is VERY important issue (please don't ask why :) any thoughts? Body need to adjust? Pain/ can't workout like used to ## How long have you been taking the birth control? The reason I'm asking is because if you've been on it for awhile and just recently started the Lisinopril for blood pressure elevation, there's a chance that the contraceptives are what's causing the elevation and you may not need to take another medication. There's a chance it could be resolved by just stopping the hormonal contraceptives. Depending on how high it is, you may need a blood...

Not everyone experiences such a side effect, so there's no way to know if it will happen to you, or not, but the possibility is there. Normally, I'd tell someone not to worry about it, but given your psychological state and the fact that the gain h...
