Contraception and Epilepsy.

[Kirsty360]

Evening ladies,This is just a quick one to see if anybody else has epilepsy and endo. One of the epilepsy meds is contraindicated with a lot of the pills. I didn't want the coil or implant and my neurologist is taking a while to get back with an answer and my GP is left hanging. I have been taking a progesterone only pill, but the side effects aren't pleasant. Just wondered if this is something anybody else has issues with too.

Thank you in advance... 💕

Sorry to hear you're going through a similar thing Prettythings1, it must be highly frustrating, especially knowing HRT can possibly help.I am trying to swap out my Keppra to be able to try other forms of medication, but it is too risky at the min following my brain surgery to remove a tumour... Its all so exhausting, just want some normality back.
