So a few weeks before my last breast aug I started taking microgestin for the first time, I asked the plastic surgeon's office if it was okay to start and they said yes. The second day I took it I experienced dizziness. Everything was fine after that until a few weeks after my surgery when the dizziness returned but it was extreme, like I could barely walk and I would vomit and I'm someone who never vomits, I ended up having to call 911 and go to the ER because one spell was so bad. These vertigo spells were so extreme that I did not even think to relate it to my initial birth control dizziness. The attacks happened roughly once a week for a few weeks until I decided to stop taking the birth control in case that was what was doing it and low and behold, the dizziness never returned.
So that was very traumatic and I swore off bc but looking back, I wonder if the reason that dizziness returned and so crazily after the surgery was because the bc was interacting with all of the medication that I was on for it? I was taking percocet and antibiotics for weeks, I did one round of one type of antibiotic and when that didn't work I had to do 2 weeks of amoxicillin. I also swore that I ended up reading somewhere on my microgestin literature to stop taking it 6 weeks before surgery or something but I can't find it again, or see anything online saying to do that.
I ask because if the vertigo was a reaction because of the cocktail that I was on and thought I could take it safely again I would, I would like to be on BC. I wonder if that initial non-extreme dizziness on my 2nd day of taking the bc was my body adjusting to it? It never happened again until a few weeks after the surgery.
