Never change or stop a birth control method without your Drs knowledge and recommendation of something else to replace it if needed. You may not be covered for pregnancy prevention. I looked up side effects to triphasil and under the severe ones, is listed heavy stomach cramps so that warrants making an appointment with your Dr. to talk about the effect its having on you, especially if you've never had cramping before or at least never severely until taking this drug. It could be indication of a reaction to it. Again it might not be and just a coincidence with something else affecting you. But the timing makes it suspicous.
If you are worried about drug interaction and if its okay to take the two together, the only way to really know if for the chemist, head pharmacist to have been told by you what medication you were taking. Its not too late to call the chemist and ask, give the spelling of both medications and see what they say. I found a link for drug interactions but there's no way to know if this one has some of the same ingrediants that others named have and could be bad to take or not.
So, my solution, ask your chemist and if told to stop it, ask what you can take in meanwhile for relieving the pain.
Next, call your Dr and make an appt and tell the person on the phone Why you are making the appointment. Dr offices can be busy and if they don't have an opening until a month from now, they need to know this isn't some routine thing but an issue that you need to see Dr. sooner than later for. I've been given an appt 3 weeks out and told the scheduler of the severity of my problem and they checked with the Drs med. assistant and had them come back saying they'd fit me in sooner or to call daily to see if anyone has canceled their appt.
