I recently started Orsythia (2 days into my third week) and since about the second week, I've had extreme nausea on and off all day, every day. It's miserable and I was wondering if anyone else has had this same problem? I have been on ortho tricyclen before with no side effects and never had this with the depo shot either. ## Hello, Lauren! How are you feeling? It might be that this just isn't the right one for you to take. Hormonal contraceptives can usually cause some nausea, as a side effect, but it's not usually that severe. Have you consulted your doctor about it? ## I was on Nortrel and I experienced Vertigo. My doc switched me to Orsythia, but I fear it will do the same thing after reading your post.
