Insomnia from birth control?

Question:

I am taking Trinessa which is the generic brand of Ortho-tri cyclen. the past couple of nights i havent been able to sleep but im extremely tired. is it possible my BC is causing me to have insomina? would taking it at night help?

Answers:
While it's possible, it is improbable.

I would recommend examining personal stress levels, diet, exercise routines, etc. Also, sometimes people just have insomnia for no reason whatsoever and it eventually resolves itself.

If it continues for more than a week, even with using OTC remedies (Tylenol PM, Calmes Forte by Hylands, etc), then make an appointment with your doctor.

I am taking that also and it doesn't do that to me. Pills are different for different people so I guess anything is possible. Ask your doctor.

i am on that as well. if i take it later in the day, i do have trouble sleeping. i always try to take it first thing in the morning with breakfast.
