Hi there.I'v been epilrptic for 6 years
now.Lately my condition has been getting
worse,due to changing of meds.Today I have
been having a look back over the years at
certain patterns in my siezures.One
bieng,i have been on the 'depot
contraceptive pill injection' on and off
for the past 5 years.I have only just
noticed that I have suffered more siezures
when I am having this injection.
I was just wondering has anyone else
suffered any side affects while bieng on
aed's and any form of contraception?I
would really appreciate any replies.Even
if it is just to say that you have
suffered no side affects.
Thankyou!!!

I know of some who have trouble with
having more seizures around their cycle.
I also have read that some contraceptives
can alter how well the antiepileptic
medication works.
I have to say you are fab.Those sights
were really interesting,even though all of
the women I spoke to suffered more
siezures around there periods.I suffer
less when I have them.Strange!! :?
I am seeing my doctor on tuesday and I am
going to raise the subject,see what he
thinks.
Thanks again for replying and take care.Xx
