Need some input here... As I typically have a pretty consistent period. From my experience on Seroqual last summer, when i upped the dose (i take 25mg, but sometimes went up to 50mg to help me sleep when stressed) i noticed my period was thrown out of whack and thought i was Preg (i was not, and am not now). I went down to 25 again, and it went back to normal.
About 2 mo's ago I started 10mg of Lexapro, which is a great med for my anxiety and mood. however, my last mo's period lasted almost 2 weeks!! (not heavy but not gone either). I have just gone to my Obgyn around the time I started Lex, since i was having really bad P cramping, she prescribed me high dose of Aleve which helps. My last Pap and general health is good. Had lots of blood work too and EKG in past few mo's, all good.
Anyway- Since starting the Lexapro, I am feeling better, got a new job, (and yes more stress,,) so since the last mo's long period, This month I am now a few days over due for my P..
I am not Preg, i took 2 tests. I was thinking it must be the meds. I started a new drug, plus for maybe a week or two, I was upping the Seroqual again to 50mg to help me sleep.
Its weird- b/c when I started Lamictal last year, it did not affect things. Perhaps I need to wait a week or so and see what happens... Im trying to avoid too many Dr trips.
Its so hard b/c I also want to stay healthy, I am 35yo, and thinking of having a baby in the next 2 years. So these kinds of issues are concerning to me and my boyfriend.
thanks for any feedback.
