    Fear of taking new medications?

    Hi there! x so i'm sorry if i posted this in the wrong category but anytime i get a new medication it takes me years to start taking them thanks to the fear of the side effects. most recently i got put on birth control for my painful periods and haven't taken one yet. i'm terrified that i'll have bad side effects or reaction and i'm just so stressed right now

    Side effects are mainly warnings because people occasionally have a reaction.

    If you are having painful periods, then isnt it worth just trying the medication?

    The worst that can happen is you have less pain, and feel a bit sick, or dizzy,

    The upside is you have no pain, and no side effects.

    Got to be worth trying one.
