In May of last year, I decided to take birth
control (
Levora 15/30) because of heavy and painful periods. The first week of taking the pill, I developed digestive upset, queasiness, and felt very tired during the first week. These symptoms subsided. The following month, when I was on the second pack of birth control pills, I woke up in the middle of the night with severe heartburn and sweating. The previous night I had tacos for dinner, and had some ice cream for dessert.
