Has anyone been able to take any form of birth control while on their seizure medication
I've had the worst experience with birth control. I did not receive any notification of the interactions with my seizure medicine which is lamotrigine from my doctors. I was seizure free for a while and after I took it for a week I had a Grand Mal seizure and fell off my bed and bruised my head badly. My heart rate was 160 so I don't really know how I came out fine. I have only had focal motor seizures since I was six so it was very scary and odd feeling It felt like a dream and that I wasn't fully "there".
Definitely donβt use BC pill, meds interfere with the effectiveness. I used a copper IUD for years and it worked fine.
I have tried the pill form last year, but couldn't keep taking them because I kept on having a bleeding problem, and so I had to come off of them. I have also tried an IUD and couldn't get comfortable to having it.
I was on the pill before i had decided to have my children and it worked absolutely fine with my epilipsy meds
No, you can NOT, bcuz the birth control pill and the seizure meds counteract with each other and you do NOT get the full effect out of either. So, All you can do is condoms.
