You can experience unusual symptoms for the first three months after beginning a new pill. If you're still experiencing symptoms after three months, check back with the prescribing healthcare provider. They might either advise you to try something else or tell you to wait it out.

I need to know the possible side effects of taking birth control pills. Where can I read more about this online?

Birth control pills come in several varieties, so no one list would apply to all forms. Some of the most common minor side effect are lighter periods, missed periods, and spotting. Minor side effects which occur less frequently include nausea, sore breasts, weight gain, minor headaches, and mood changes. Rare, but serious, side effects are abdominal pain, chest pain, severe headaches, eye problems like blurry vision, or severe leg pain. These serious side effects can be a sign of blood clots, heart attack, stroke, or high blood pressure.

Are headaches common while taking Triphasil for birth control and Effexor for anxiety or depression?

I don't know what the correlation is between birth control and anxiety/depression medication but I do know that one of the side effects of taking the birth control pill is headaches, especially when you first start taking it. I agree with anonymous above, headaches is a common side effect when first taking the pill. I am on my second pack and my headaches can get pretty bad. As far as the anxiety/depression medication, you might want to ask your doctor but if the doctor prescribed your pills knowing you were on that medication you might be fine because they prescribe the pill that would be right for you based on your medical history. ask your Dr or pharmacist. i take both, and i do get bad headaches sometimes. headaches and migraines are a side effect of Effexor also, along w/ the pill I believe that headaches/migraines occur with Effexor especially if you don't take it close to the same time every day. Being off by just a little bit seemed to cause major headaches and nausea when I was on it. Withdrawal.
