Q: Medication Sucks!
asked by: Dannzibelle on September 25th, 2007

Ok this epilepsy medication officially sucks Sad I actually feel worse now then i did when i was pregnant with Mika. I have the worse headache, feel sick and i feel so weak Sad I went to see the doctor today about it and he jsut told me to take two instead of three a day. It also makes me paranoid because it can tamper with the effectiveness of contraception and then if you were to get pregnant it can cause abnormalities in the baby Sad

Oh you poor thing Sad

Is it just the pill it interferes with so could you take the Depo shot? Of course, barrier methods are going to be the safest option is the tablets affect hormonal methods. What a bummer. Did you have fits before your labour?

The strange thing is i couldn't take hormonal contraception before i had Mika but when i went for my 6 weeks check up my doctor suggested trying it again and now i'm fine with it which i was happy about. Every kind of hormonal method will be effected Sad And my doctor is reluctant to fit a more invasive method of contraception because of my age. Well not that i knew of but these arn't the normal kind of fit, i just go blank for a few minutes so i'm not sure really if i had them much or not because it's not really the kind of thing you remember very well, my mum can remember though

Hopefull yit will because i just can't cope feeling like this when i'm looking after Mika 24/7, perhaps if i got a half an hour break every now and then i could but whenever me and Dom try that somebody decideds to wake up and gets all cligely towards me Rolling Eyes typical bubba hey, not making a little thing easy Laughing On this plus side Dom showed me a band his friend showed him the other day and they are amaing and the singer is HOT
