Unless instructed otherwise, you should start the new one on the same day you would've started a new pack of your prior ones.

The NIH lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, irritability, and PMS-like symptoms.

Is there anything else I can help with?

Re: Verwon (# 1)

Hi! I have taken 11 sophia pills and misplaced them. Didn't get the chance to buy sophia immediately so i have missed 2 pills already. Then i bought althea and was planning to start a new pack. Is it safe for me to start over using althea? By the way, I decided to switch pills because i always feel palpitations and headaches while taking sophia.
