Does anyone do this? I have been tri cycling (3 packs at a time) but apparently you can run them continuously without ever taking a break. Does anyone do this? Posting here for traffic

It depends what type of migraines you get - if you have any kind of aura (loss of vision, numbness etc) you shouldn’t be taking a combined pill at all due to risk of stroke. For people who have no health risks it is fine to take continuously and have a 4 day break when you get break through bleeding, then restart again

No aura. So you can just keep going until you get 4 days of continuous break through bleeding?

I've been taking my combined pill pack continuously for years
