Can antidepressants have bad interactions with birth control?

Question

I need both.Should I be able to use both without any problems?

Answer 1

Yes theya re safe but can the depression be triggered by the birth control??? It happened to me I was on the depo and was in sever depression come to find out that your not supposed to take the shot if u have a family history of depression since it may trigger it

Answer 2

i dont really think you should take any advice from the people on here (no offence people) but were not qualified to give you an answer, baisicly it depends on the brand of both whether you do and how bad the interactions could be, i know my GP told me the brand i was on cancelled out the birth controll.

SEE YOUR GP and ask him, hes really the only person you should b asking

Answer 3

Hey Chicalalo, no offense taken, I swear I was going to say the same as you did....Medical advice from total strangers that aren't doctors is not wise....

Answer 4

Yes. Both are safe to use together, just remember to tell your doctor all the medication you are taking so s(he) can prescribe what is right for you!

Answer 5

HAVE YOU TRY DEPROVERA INJECTION THAT LASTS EVERY THREE MONTH UNTIL YOUR NEXT INJECTION. ALL MEDICATIONS CAN EFFECT THE PILL SO IF YOU ARE ON THE PILL AND CAN HANDLE TAKING NEEDLES THEN I WOULD OPT FOR THE ABOVE MENTIONED.

EVEN TAKING VITA C CAN EFFECT THE PILL SO TALK TO YOUR DR AND ASK ABOUT DIFFERENT POSSIBILITIES.

Answer 6

When one is pregnant on e needs to think of not only oneself but also the life one is going to bring into this world.
Hence one has to love this new baby right now.
Do not drink not even a sip of wine and do not smoke.
Consult your gynac on all medication that one would like to take.
Your baby can be badly affected if you are not careful right now.
Antidepresants accoding to me are bad for the baby.
