Ortho-Cept and orthocept

Severe FATIGUE... I cannot explain enough how fatigued I am while on Orthocept. I classify it as a mix of depression too. This is awful and yet my doctor keeps telling me to 'tough it out for another month'. I have lost 5lbs this month and am always sick to my stomach. I have the weirdest forehead and eyeball pain/headaches. My legs also broke out in an itchy rash during the end of the first week and the red bumps are still here. It is just awful, people. I feel like my whole body is falling apart. I'm only taking this because my periods are excruciating. I'd rather go through the pain for 2 to 3 days than all of this for months.

I have experienced a vaginal yeast infection while on Orthocept, also got a urinary tract infection during that time. I have only been on the bill for little over a week.

I have experienced a vaginal yeast infection while starting the Orthocept, I have only been on the pill for little over a week. I also had a urinary tract infection during that time.

I just got my prescription from my doctor today to start on Orthocept after my next period. For all of the women that have gotten acne after taking Orthocept, can you tell me if it cleared you skin then got acne after discontinuing use of the pill or did you have acne to begin with and then it made it worse when you stopped using it?

I have experienced major hair loss and acne after coming off orthocept. Can anyone help?

I experienced a DVT and pulmonary embolus in 1996 as a result of taking Orthocept. I now have permanent vascular damage in one of my legs and require the use of compression stockings. I was 25 years old at the time.
