Will levonorgestrel work with antidepressants and epilepsy meds?

Does levonorgestrel effective if I'm under antidepressants medications which include epilepsy medication also

1 Answer
Dr. Vikas Patel

Psychiatrist

Answered on 26th Dec '24

Levonorgestrel is generally a reliable emergency contraceptive pill, but there are certain medications, for example, drugs used to treat epilepsy or depression, which might make its effect weaker. These interactions may also be the cause of the contraception not working properly. It’s crucial to spot any discomfort you have during this period including the unexpected bleeding or the menstrual changes and you have to monitor the situation. I recommend that you discuss the medications that you are using with a healthcare provider.

High blood pressure can have many causes, including stress. Worrying too much and overthinking may also be signs of anxiety. It's important to follow your doctor's instructions when taking medication. To manage stress and anxiety, try relaxation methods like deep breathing, exercise, or talking to someone you trust.

Hi I need a family counselor for me and my wife the doctor should speak malyalam as my wife is not fluent in Malayalam only.

Female | 34

Communication struggles can lead to misunderstandings and stress in relationships. It's essential to work towards harmony through professional guidance. I recommend looking for a family therapist who is fluent in Malayalam to ensure your wife feels comfortable expressing her thoughts. This can provide a safe space for both of you to explore feelings and build understanding. You might consider checking local directories or health services for qualified counselors who meet your language needs. Professional support can be a valuable step toward strengthening your bond.

Meri beti kuch sochti h to uske sir m drd hota h fever aa jata h kya ye DEEPRATION h

Female | 31

Headaches & fever in your daughter could be due to physical illness, tension, stress, or anxiety. Depression also causes headaches and fever, but it's usually accompanied by other symptoms, such as low mood, disrupted sleep, loss of interest, and other physical and mental signs. Consult your  nearest doctor for evaluation.

I am not feeling well and satisfied in my life and also want to do crazy things that would enhance my motivation and skill

Male | 23

Feeling unmotivated and wanting to try new things is usually when we are feeling stagnant in life. Reach out and talk to someone you feel comfortable with about your feelings. Continue doing the things you like, step outside for a walk, or delve into a new hobby. Self-care and creating new sources of joy are methods of bringing your mood up.

I am a 16 year old a student of grade eleventh who is constantly facing severe headaches from months, I have sleep problems, my mouth often becomes dry most of the time tears drop off my eyes and I get panic striken the body becomes warm most of the time accompanied by sweat on my upper lips and also I get frequent chest pains

Female | 16

Habitual symptoms of hyperbolic headaches, insomnia, xerostomia, lacrimation, panic attacks, sweating, and the appearance of discomfort in the chest make the situation difficult to bear. These signs and symptoms may be a consequence of stress, anxiety, or any other medical problems hidden deeply. It is important to confront these emotions in a constructive and useful way. Among the activities involved are relaxation techniques, drinking enough water, and maintaining a regular sleep schedule. Remember that a thorough check-up with a healthcare professional is crucial to resolving this. He can decode the needed informations and help align you with the right specialists. Keep in mind that this is a positive action that is associated with regaining a good physical and mental state.

Female | 16

It seems that you may be going through a type of depersonalization. That means that a person can observe life like an outside spectator from the viewpoint of seeing himself/herself acting. It can be associated with anxiety, stress, and other mental health issues as well. It is highly advised to communicate with someone you trust or a counselor about how you feel. They will be able to provide you with coping mechanisms. Besides, resting well, eating properly, and take a couple of breaths or practising mindfulness can also be beneficial to keep your mind at peace.

Male | 26

Thank you for reaching out. It sounds like you’re feeling overwhelmed by constant thinking, which can happen when we’re stressed or anxious. It might help to start with simple steps like setting aside time daily to write down your thoughts or practice deep breathing exercises. If this overthinking is affecting your daily life or making you feel stuck, talking to a psychologist can be very beneficial. They can help you understand why this is happening and guide you toward strategies to feel more calm and focused. Taking this step can bring clarity and relief.

I have problems with getting to sleep. But I do shisha and after I do shisha it helps me to sleep, but it's not good for my help what can I do to do away with intial insomnia

Male | 27

Utilizing shisha for sleep isn't recommended at all. In addition, the difficulty of getting sleep is called initial insomnia, and two possible reasons for that may be stress, bad sleep habits, or the use of drugs like shisha. A potentially successful method to deal with the troublesome situation is to establish a bedtime habit that makes you relaxed and quit stimulants, and some consultation with a doctor might be helpful on time.

Can i take herbal vitamin b12 supplements while I am taking antidepressents.

Female | 43

Vitamin B12 herbal supple­ments go great with antidepre­ssants. If B12 is low, feelings might be tire­d, weak, and dizzy. Antidepressants can make­ it hard for B12 to absorb properly in the body. A suppleme­nt helps keep normal B12 le­vels. Tell your doctor before­ starting any new supplement.

Female | 40

Your irregular e­ating habits can negatively impact your well-be­ing. Morning hunger leads to sluggishness and lack of focus. Me­ager afternoon and eve­ning meals deprive your body of vital nutrie­nts. Aim for balanced meals containing fruits, veggie­s, proteins, and carbs throughout the day.
