I have been on Ovcon for 5 years now. I only get my period every 3 months and it has been very light. I now have noticed a lot of hair falling out and I have a medium size bald spot in my hair line. I don't know if it is the pills or stress! If anyone else has noticed hair loss please let me know! I talked to my doctor and they told my they never heard of people losing hair due to a birthcontrol pill.

After 3 months taking lipitor, woke up during the night with full body muscle spasms. Emergency crew took me to emergency wherby morphine was injected over a three hour period to loosen the tightened muscles. Use of lipitor ended that evening.
For the next 26months, 8-12 major spasms occurred within a 24 hour period. Methocarbanol was and still is being used as a combative tool against spasms.
Currently determining what should be taken to provided nutrients to the muscles to help them to repair the damage done by the spasms that occurred.
Presently, major spasms have diminished to 4-6 per month, tight muscles persist, and its very easy to have muscle cramps when doing miscellaneouls medium to heavy duty chores. Medium would be reaching out to help pull yourself up and heavy would be snow shoveling with medium size shovel.
In my case, Zetia (non-statin) has brought my chloresterol levels down to an acceptable level & no side effects have occurred.
