Unhappy Horrible nausea from Diane-35 :'(

i was on diane-35 last year for about 4 months and it helped me a lot with my hair loss.. the shedding was slowing down.. my lab blood results were great too.. my testosterone & free testerone levels dropped.. my SHBG went from 46 to 165.. i had really bad nausea & vomitting when i first started diane.. the first time i took it i was vomitting so much the next day i had to go to the emergency room and they gave me anti-nausea injections.. after two weeks i started taking diane again.. i vomitted on the first day.. the nausea continued for about 3 days and then stopped.. i felt perfectly fine.. there weren't any side effects after that.. i was on diane for 4 months continously.. i didnt take the placebo pills so i never got periods.. if i even missed one pill the next time i took it i would feel so sick..

then after 4 months my endo prescribed flutamide for me.. so i stopped diane.. i dont know why i did that.. i feel so stupid now.. flutamide hasn't really helped as much as i was hoping it would.. i really want to go back on diane.. ive been trying to for 6 months now.. i always vomit on the first couple days.. the nausea is so unbearable i have to stop taking it.. when i stop it i get withdrawal periods for a week.. then the whole cycle repeats itself.. last month i had 4 periods because of this.. ive tried everything.. ive taken diane in the morning, lunchtime and evening.. ive tried taking it with and without food.. ive tried prescription antinausea medication (maxolon, metaclopramide & domperidone ).. ive tried natural treatments, vitamin B6 supplements, accupressure wrist bands.. everything.. i even switched to yasmin for a while and i still had nausea .. i prefer diane though because it was working so well for me..

i dont know why i cant tolerate it now.. maybe its because im taking flutamide as well.. if you take diane-35.. how do you take it? did you experience any nausea? what helped you to get over it?

thanx for your help.. i really appreciate it !!

Sorry I'm not sure what that is here in the states...unless you are in the states and it's just a name I've never heard of before..

diane 35 is a birth control pill.. on the main soulcysters forum page it says "BCPs - Demulen, Ortho, Diane-35, etc." so i assumed it was a commonly prescribed birth control pill over there.. ? maybe not.. its available in canada

diane 35 has 35 mcg ethinyl estradiol & 2 mg cyproterone acetate.. its similar to yasmin.. ive also tried yas but had similar side effects
