Headaches

[Miss_E8]

I've just come off of Loestrin 20 for 7 days. I've started a new packet again now. But for the past few days I have had the worst headache. Has anyone else experienced this, even for such a short period of withdrawal?

Hi there! I tried this pill for a week years ago. I'm not a headachey person but over seven days of taking it, I had constant headaches followed by a full blown migraine (blacked out, almost fell down stairs, vomiting and couldn't move). I reported this to my GP and they said that this pill is associated with headaches when you are on it and after you stop. How long have you been taking it for? Maybe if it's new, it will settle....good luck x

I've been taking for probably over a year now. Without any breaks. But recently took a break and what I thought was just a bad hangover has not improved, if anything it's got worse. But I've started it again. Just wanted to see if it was associated with headaches. Wish I hadn't had a break now. I also have the mirena too.
