Tbh all medications can have bad side effects, but you definitely should have been instructed on what to do if you experience them and it’s crazy there isn’t more warning... make an appointment w your prescriber and ask about alternative options with less side effects like the mini pill. Also if it’s safe for you to stop taking it I would do so now.

If it’s past your first couple months, ask to switch pills! Each one is different and you should not put up with debilitating side effects. When you had a natural cycle, at approximately which point did you feel best? That can help inform which direction you should go.
