Hello everyone! I've been a reader of the boards for awhile and you all seem to be so helpful so I was really hoping someone could help me....I just started taking tricyclen-lo last monday 3/28 and I started getting a fever, headaches, tightness in my chest, and naseua on Thursday morning. I've been throwing up for the past two days. Could this be the pill or could I just have a flu? I don't want to get off the pill and find out that it had nothing to do with it, however, I don't want to stay on them and have them mess up my body. Are these common side effects of the pill? Thank you for all the help.... :angel:

While it could be the pill, I'd blame a cold or the flu on your symptoms. Sounds like a coincidence.

Keep taking the pill as directed. If you still feel ill after a cycle or so, definately let your prescriber know.
