    The brand of bc I started on gave me the worst headaches around the ‘sugar pill’ week every single time - just knocked me out for several days every month worse than my normal period symptoms ever did. I switched to the generic version of the same meds and it has mostly gone away now. So it’s is very likely! Good on the pharmacist for suggesting it!

        Oh noooo, yeah it could be the bc then 😬 Definitely see if you can get a change up and see if that helps.

        Also, I don’t know why the generic $7 version of mine from Chemist Warehouse doesn’t generally give me headaches but the $21 brand name version from the normal pharmacy fucks me up but that could be something to try if you still have refills left and don’t want to go to the GP for a new prescription.
