I started Alessse again 4 days ago and I am experiencing some dizziness. Is this alarming and/or urgent? Should I stop?

I was taking Alesse for birth control for 5 years+. I stopped 6 months ago for personal reasons.

I have taken this pill for a long time without side effects

Hi,
This is indeed a bit odd. It could be due to a lot of other factors as well, but it would be important to see if the pill could be to blame.
To do this, I would suggest that you continue taking the pill for a few days. If the situation worsens or if the dizziness is still present in 72 hours and no other cause is considered (you don't cough, you don't have a fever, etc.), I would then suggest that you go and see a doctor.
If the symptoms diminish over the next few days, you can then continue taking the pill without worry.
Happy day,
Alexandre Chagnon, pharmacist
