Will levonorgestrel work with epilepsy medications?

Does levonorgestrel effective if I'm under epilepsy medication

1 Answer

Answered on 24th Dec '24

Levonorgestrel is generally effective, even if someone is taking medication for epilepsy. However, you need to be aware that some anticonvulsants can influence hormones and, as a result, make contraceptives less effective. Warning signs include unexpected bleeding or changes in the menstrual cycle. The best way to ensure that you are fully protected is to discuss your situation with a neurologist too. They may propose other methods or additional protection that matches your special requirements.

I can feel air moving thru the top of my head when I breath. Is that bad / dangerous?

Female | 25

Air can sometime­s pass through the top of your head when you bre­athe. It may be due to a tiny hole­ in your skull or close to your sinuses. Or, you may have a blocke­d nose passage. See­ a doctor to know for sure. They can tell you the­ right reason and give treatme­nt if needed.

Doctor sahb mujhe Ahtlaam ho jata hai

Male | 28

Very well, Ahtlaam which is also sometimes called nocturnal emissions is defined as the ejaculation that one might experience in sleep. In fact, it is a very common thing during puberty. Signs and symptoms of it are feelings of self-consciousness and apprehension (but it is a normal body process). The causes of it could be associated with hormonal changes and sexual dreams. The best way to sort it out is by exercising regularly and eating a balanced diet.

It is always best to consult with her doctor to see what's the best course of action is for her. However, medications such as oxybutynin, tolterodine, and solifenacin may be effective in treating urinary incontinence. Additionally, physical therapy and pelvic floor exercises may help improve her walking and bladder control.

Hey, i have been using seroxat 20mg and rivotril 2 mg since march 2022 , I'm trying to stop it by reducing the amount by taking them one day and day off, but I'm feeling dizzy a lot and losing balance, how can i quit and how to reduce the effect of it.

Male | 26

Before making any changes to your medication, consult your doctor for advice. Suddenly stopping or reducing Seroxat and Rivotril can lead to withdrawal symptoms. . If you experience dizziness or balance issues during the process, inform your doctor right away.

पुरुष | 45

The medicines you me­ntioned are used ofte­n after bypass surgery. Your low blood pressure­ and a sitting job could be causing your headaches. Stay hydrate­d. Drink plenty of water. Take bre­aks from sitting. Tell your doctor about what's happening. Your doctor can help manage things be­tter if you keep the­m updated.

Iam 28 years Female. I took antidepressants for one month. After that iam facing jerking movement sensation in face and head.

Female | 28

The jerking movement sensations are a side effect of the antidepressant medication.Talk to your doctor they may recommend adjusting your dose or switching to a different medication. Donb't stop taking antidepressants without medical supervision as the discontinuation can lead to withdrawal symptoms.
