Re: Menstruation, lack of sleep and IBS       02/03/03 09:48 PM Edit Reply Quote juniorrachel Reged: 01/29/03 Posts: 140 Loc: St. Louis, MO I started on birth control (Mircette) last June. my IBS has continually gotten worse since then, but I've had a lot of other factors that have increased my stress level, and my symptoms have seemed to have gotten worse progressively for the last 4 years. currently i'm getting tested to rule out anything else. Anyway, when I started on the IBS diet things started to get better (late November). Mircette is a rather mild BC pill. I've heard more bad than good about Orho-Tricyclen, though. None of my friends who started on it are still on it... it really messed with them (they are not IBS sufferers, but i think it's a stronger pill/ higher dose and causes more/ stronger side affects such as weight gain and moodiness, etc) I'd talk to your doctor to see if you should start out on something more mild than Ortho-Tricyclen, and work up to that if you need to. good luck!
