Lamictal and birth control pills

Mon, 03/20/2006 - 22:36
I was wondering if anyone on Lamictal was also taking birth control pills. My neurologist said that there is no interaction, however I read 2 studies online that found oral contraceptives to decrease Lamictal dose-concentration level by almost half. I was just curious if anyone experienced any negative effects after starting birth control pills while on Lamictal?

just answered this I think in women's forum. Take a look at the medication section on Lamictal and drug interactions! Epi_help
