"i&#039;ve been on lutera for almost 4 years and it has been pretty good. i haven&#039;t noticed any terrible side effects except for when i take the first pill of a new pack - if i eat or drink anything within the first few hours of taking the pill i will feel nauseous. that&#039;s why i take it just before bed on friday nights now. the first year or so i would also feel incredibly tired starting about an hour after taking the first pill of the pack, but that has since gone away. as for other side effects i can&#039;t really remember what my body would normally &quot;do&quot; without the pill."
