2. They depend upon the type of birth control used. For instance, condoms are considered a type of birth control, and don't really have any negative side effects unless one or both of you is allergic to latex. Also, it depends completely on the individual. Some possible side effects are heightened blood pressure, liver damage, vomiting, diarrhea, other such generic side effects, etc. This is why birth control pills are prescribed by a doctor. They can inform you, test you for forseeable problems, and keep tabs on any changes the drug causes in you.
