I am on the bc pill, Cyclessa. I've been on it since about November of last year. The first couple of months I had all sorts of side effects including increased outbreaks, dizziness, a little nausea, and sore joints. They said that would be normal until my body got used to it. On month three all my side effects were gone except the dizziness on week three. I still get dizzy on week three. Not like feels like I'm drunk dizzy but rather distracting dizzy. Is this normal? Should I consider switching bc pills?

Definitely consider changing brands. There are literally dozens of different formulations out there. If it is a tri-cyclic drug (3 different colors of pills + placebo) try going on a mono-phasic drug (one pill for the entire 3 weeks). It could have something to do with the change in chemicals every week.
Talk to your doc - bottom line is that if you're experiencing any discomfort for SEVEN months, it's time for a change. Don't take "NO" for an answer either! Be tough - it's YOUR body.

Yes, those side effects lasting for that long are not normal!
Look at the patch people are suing over it now due to side effects! Talk to your doc immediately

maybe you are pregnant, i would check, i just went on the pill and they told me that you can still get pregnant on them, if that comes out negative then ya i would definitly go back to the doctor and ask them to put you on something that wont do that to you.
