Medication Sucks! Posted: 09-25-07 12:11pm
Ok this epilepsy medication officially
sucks 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 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

Oh you poor thing
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 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

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
typical bubba hey, not making a little
thing easy 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
