I am pretty sure bith control is not at all affected by headache pills. Antibiotics maybe, but not painkillers.

Ask your doctor. I was not allowed to take birth control because of my headaches. But I do not know what kind of headaches you have, what kind of doctor you have seen (as in a neurologist), and what medication you are taking for the headaches.

That is why I said you should ask your doctor.

I have been on birth control for 8 years now and I get headaches a lot. My doctor told me it was okay to take both at the same time. However, I only take aspirin any kind of prescription drug will effect your birth control.

Yeah, if its just over the counter tylenol or something, you are fine.

If you still get headaches that often, then you should be seen by a specialist. You should have to suffer through headaches. Not to scare you, but it is important to rule out any other problem.
