I'm 21 years old and on the birth control pill and throw up EVERY time I drink alcohol?

Same happened to me. I went on birth control pill, and was on it for a little over a year. Almost immediately I developed a complete intolerance for any type of alcohol. Even with just a few sips of a beer I’d get violently nauseous and vomit and then dry heave for HOURS. It wouldn’t happen right away; it’d happen about 2 to 3 hours after the alcohol was consumed. During that year I switched to a different brand of pill, for other reasons, but the alcohol reaction was the same with that one also. Prior to taking the birth control pill; my reaction to alcohol was normal- Meaning I could have a glass of wine with dinner or a few drinks with friends, and not get sick. When I stopped taking the pill, The alcohol allergy went away. Now, years later, I’d really like to go back on the pill to try to help regulate my period and hormonal issues. But I’m nervous I’ll have the same reaction again.

I have been having this same issue. I started to feel really nauseous and dizzy when I would drink any amount of alcohol and throw up a lot but it would happen only sometimes when I drank. Sometimes I would be completely fine. But then I started birth control and thats the exact time I started to throw up and get super nauseous after any amount of alcohol entered my body at all. did you ever find out how to fix this problem? Was it the birth control or something else? Please let me know!!! Or if anyone else has any type of advice please let me know!

I have also experienced the same problem. I just got on birth control in August 2018 and I have never had a hangover in my life. I was on Taytulla then switch to Blisovi Fe and now I am on Aviane. I don't know if its the birth control that has caused me hangovers but they are god awful to the point where I can't get out of bed.

You could speak to your doctor about the possibility of using Nexplanon, the birth control implant?

I have this problem but im a guy and i dont take birthcontrol pills :S im only 23 and have the exact same problem. i alsow get a bit of a fever.

I had the same EXACT issue on Loestrin Fe 24 and I quit birth control altogether. Almost instantly my horrible hangovers stopped and I can drink again. My mood also improved a ton and I was truly happy for the first time I could remember in ages. Gynecologists deny deny deny any of these side effects. I gained a ton of weight on a different pill and had a gyno tell me that I must be eating too much and not exercising because the pill does not make you gain weight. I know it sucks to not have the security of the pill, but consider your body - you're essentially messing up its natural hormone balance. No studies have really been done on long term side effects and for all we know we've already secured some form of cancer for ourselves in the future. I no longer trust what doctors have to say on the subject and I'm staying away from the pill for good. Using condoms is a small sacrifice to make for letting my body run the way it's supposed to!

Hello marliynnn. Well you answered your own question in as much as stopping the birth control. I tryed to look up and find a definite reason. Both ortho-cept, as well as Yasmin, when drinking alcohol, increase the effects on your central nervous system as well as your blood levels. So theres that side effect. Time to change your method of birth control. Theres that option. Sorry but thats about all I can suggest.best to you.
