A member asked:
What side effects are commonly associated with birth control & antidepressants?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Clarify please: Are you asking about combining oral contraceptives & antidepressants? Or each individually? Either way, to have a helpful response, you will need to specify which medications your are referring to. If you are not asking about medications interactions then i would break it into 2 separate questions (side effects for each medication). Please clarify & re-ask question.
