Question
Hello,

I've recently start bc pills called Diane 35. My doctor mentioned that once I start them I have to wait 3 months before i decide if I want to discontinue use.
The packet inside the pills also say to wait 3 months for symptoms to subside and to not stop taking them.
I've been taking them for a little over a week and few VERY sick. I can hardly eat/work/do anything because I'm always nauseous. I would like to discontinue use but I will wait until I'm done this cycle before I do (I just wont start them again).
Is that OK? Is there any harm in doing that?

Answer
Hi Kristie,
I'm not a medical professional but in my opinion, if you are getting sick and don't want to continue, I wouldn't. Nobody can make you take a medication that you don't want to. I think they are saying that most people would want to keep trying just in case the symptoms would go away. I don't even see anything wrong with quitting right now. I wouldn't want to be sick. But that's just my opinion. Could you get a 2nd opinion from another doctor? Please email me at DCHERYL51@yahoo.com and we can talk more.
