A member asked:

Can anti seizure medication mess up your menstrual cycle?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Seizure medications: There is a known phenomena of "hormone sensitive" seizures. Seizure activity can also influence the level of hormones in your body. Seizure medication itself does not necessarily "directly" effect your menstrual cycles. It is more of an "indirect" effect.
