Question Kariva side effects

Hi ladies!
I could really use your help. I have been on Kariva for a few months now. I seem to be getting dizzy, vertigo, weird hot flash's that go threw me really fast, and headaches (sometimes really nasty!). My last period was also VERY light! Not normal for me. Are these side effects from Kariva? I am on a few other meds, but the dr said they shouldn't be causing this. So the only other thing is Kariva.

I would really appreciate your input/experiance so I can figure out if I should call my gyno. Thanks so much!

Re: Kariva side effects

Kariva is one of the few pills that I never tried. However, from what you're describing as your side effects, I think it's very likely that it's related to your pill. Personally, if I were you, I'd call the dr. just to ask about it, because at least then you'll get a medical opinion. However, be prepared that some doctors are so far up the drug companies' butts when it comes to meds that they'll say anything to keep their patients on these meds, even if they are having complications. I'm just saying, you can't always trust a doctor's opinion.

But again, from what I know of the pill in general, those type of side effects can definitely occur. It doesn't happen for everyone, but some women do experience them.
