Lamictal and birth control pills
Mon, 03/20/2006 - 22:38Topic: Women With Epilepsy
I was just wondering if anyone was on brith control as well as Lamictal. My neurologist said that there is no interaction, but I came across 2 studies on the interaction that stated that it decreased Lamictal concentration by almost half. I'm not sure if I should be worried to start the birth control.

I find conflicting info when I do a search also ! I'm not on either birth control or Lamictal, so can't give you any advice. You might check with your pharmacist and see what they have to say.
Good Luck,

Stoppen met roken Roken verhoogt de kans op verschillende vormen van kanker, waaronder long- en mondkanker. Ook andere ziekten zoals bronchitis komen vaker voor bij rokers dan bij niet-rokers. Stoppen met roken is dus goed voor uw gezondheid: op de lange termijn heeft u minder kans op ziektes en op de korte termijn bent u fitter en energieker.
