Okay, calm down!.
First of all, if you took it within the time limit (the first 72 hours after unprotected/accidentally unsafe sex--condom broke, etc!.), you should be all right!. Though the effectiveness does decrease if you take Plan B after the first twelve hours of unprotected sex, it should still be 89% effective!.
HOWEVER:
If you took it outside the 72-hour time slot, go get a pregnancy test right away!.
All of that being said:
Plan B is essentially the same as taking a massive dose of birth control pills (I believe it is the equivalent of about 4 or 5 birth control pills)!. The hormones will mess with your system a bit, especially if you're not on birth control (however, even if you're on BC, they can still mess with your system)!. Spotting/missing a period/having a period when you're not supposed to are all potential side effects, as I'm sure you've read!.
I would still advise you to go get a pregnancy test, though!. If you are pregnant, it is better to know now and be able to deal with it!.
