I was prescribed lamicatl for my bipolar problems and I forgot to tell the doc that I am taking bc pills. I would like to know if bc pills can influence-increase or decrease the effects of Lamictal and if I should stop using them. Thank you
I think that birth control pills decrease the amount of Lamictal but you shouldn’t stop taking them if you have already started using Lamictal. Consult your doctor if you notice any changes in your menstrual pattern. Remember to report the bc pills usage to your doc during your next appointment.
