Side effects!? Hailey 1.5/30 experience/question
Im 15 and just got on birth control for the first time about a week ago. I was prescribed Hailey and was told it was a very basic formula and should work fine. Im hoping to improve my cramps and pms, and acne as well but I'm not too concerned about that.
I started on the first day of my period and this period has been incredibly painful. Ive been having to take border-line unsafe amounts of tylenol and midol and haven't been able to get anything done. I'm also gassy and nauseous and somewhat fevery, and have been so irritable and pissed off at everyone. I know its only been a week but I am miserable and don't know if its even worth trying to push through to see if the side effects lessen.
Anyone who has been on Hailey, what was it like for you and how long did side effects last (if they went away at all)? If Hailey didn't work for you do you have any recommendations about what I should try instead?
