(Cross-posted in the meds section, but since Lamictal's a bipolar thing, figured it was more likely to be seen here. Hehe, I read this forum WAY more than any other and there are probably others like that too...)

I've been trying to research some info about this, but coming up with little info. I am considering going to an iud. Here are the relevant pieces of the puzzle... There seem to be 2 iud choices, ParaGard (12 years, no hormones at all) and Mirena (5 years, a bit of progestin). As I am 47, 12 years seems a bit much, what with menopause upcoming and all. Soooooo, the Mirena would seem the more appropriate option, BUT I know there are issues about hormones in interactin with Lamictal. (I'm just on Lamictal for BP II, no cocktail.)

So really, my question is, is the small amount of progestin in the Mirena an issue with Lamictal or not?
