A member asked:
I'm on lamictal & estrogen oc. i prefer 30 mcg v 20 mcg of oc for better regulation (not bc) but am aware of offsets--is 30 more dangerous than 20?

Might be.: There can be side effects like thrombosis (blood clotting) that can be dangerous. Also you're on lamictal, a very serious drug that may need adjustment if you change your estrogen, so see your doctor first and get baseline readings.
