Depakote, BCP and menstrual bleeding?

Posted by Chloe on April 24, 2002, at 20:21:09

I have been on a monophasic birth control pill, actives pills only, so I am not supposed to have periods(or PMS!). But since adding depakote (My gyn thinks this is the culprit anyway) about 3 months ago I have had some break thru bleeding. And then two weeks ago, I just started bleeding excessively with clots, but no cramping. I am beginning to really get weak now. Walking to the mailbox makes me out of breath, and I am in good shape.
Gdoc wants to do labs, esp depakote level. But I am only on 250 mgs/day of the dep. Is this small amount enough to mess with my BCP?
Has anyone else on depakote and the BCP experienced this increased menstrual bleeding or break thru bleeding?
Any info or experiences would help alot.
Thanks
Chloe
