Just wondering if you think that taking Plan B emergency contraceptive, starting on the regular birth control pill, in addition to taking a Flucozanel pill for yeast infections, plus, two additional antibiotics...one that has to be taken four times a day, and the other twice a day, and starting all this during the same week could possibly be tough on your system? I had to start taking each of these meds on the same day because I went to see my Gyn and Dermatologist on the same day. Now I am starting to feel some crappy side effects. Would you have started taking all the medicine on the same day like being advised to by your doctor, or would you have used your best judgement? Even my pharmacist was kind of surprised at all the meds..especially taking the Plan B and the regular pills on the same day; however, she told me that if my Dr. thought it was fine then it must be. What would you have done? Use your best judgement, or Dr. knows best?

Drs. don't always know best! The biggest problem with starting them all is you can't tell which one is causing the side effects. I wouls also think that plan b would be bad with the other pill, I can just imagine the hormonal mood swings! I would call your doc again if the side effects continue.

Each dr. should have been aware of the other medications you were going to take before prescribing anything.
All that especially the antibiotics are hard on your system. They also weaken birth control pills. The pharmacist would have let you know if there was any danger with the combination of drugs. Most of the time they catch that and let you know.

I would call the doctor and explain to him/her that you are feeling a little different taking all of the meds at the same time and see what he has to say. Especially, since the pharmacist had such a reaction. Good luck
