Do antidepressants reduce the effectiveness of contraception?

The negative effect of the most commonly used antidepressants on the effectiveness of hormonal contraception (including contraceptive discs) has not been proven. No effect on the effectiveness of contraception has been proven m.in in the case of drugs belonging to the group of serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), such as fluoxetine, citalopram, escitalopram and sertraline, and serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs), such as venlafaxine and duloxetine. If you need more detailed information about a particular medicine, please provide its name. We wrote more about what drugs weaken the effectiveness of contraception in the text: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/artykuly/jakie-leki-oslabiaja-skutecznosc-antykoncepcji

To @Anonimowa:

Paroxetine (Parogen) and trazodone (Trittico) do not affect the effectiveness of the contraceptive implant. These drugs do not have properties that could weaken the effect of hormonal contraceptive methods. The psychiatrist is right to assure that there is no problem with their use in the context of contraception.

Good morning! Do parogen and trittico weaken the effect of the contraceptive implant? I'm very worried about it, but my psychiatrist said there was no problem between these medications, and my contraception

Existent, parogen, sympramol. I take these three drugs. Can I use hormonal contraception?

Up to @Wirkung:

Oestrogens, which include ethinylestradiol in Swingo 30, may inhibit the metabolism of agomelatine in Valdoxan, which may lead to an increase in the level of agomelatine in the blood and thus an increased risk of side effects or worsening. They may appear, for example, headache or dizziness, anxiety, sleep disorders, fatigue, gastrointestinal ailments. These symptoms may or may not necessarily occur in you. Caution should be exercised when combining both drugs, and if any disturbing symptoms appear, consult a doctor. If you have any doubts about the simultaneous use of both drugs, I recommend contacting your doctor, who should recommend the appropriate dosage based on full information about your health and the medications used.

To @Luss:

These medicines do not adversely affect the effectiveness of hormonal contraception (including Novadien tablets).

However, caution should be exercised when Xanax and Escitalopram are used concomitantly and the patient's therapy should be closely monitored. This increases the risk of side effects such as decreased appetite, depression, confusion, decreased libido, excessive sedation and drowsiness, impaired motor coordination, speech and concentration disorders, headache and dizziness, blurred vision, constipation, dry mouth, nausea, fatigue and irritability.

If medications have been prescribed by different doctors, a consultation is advisable to determine whether these medications can be used at the same time, and if the medications are prescribed by the same doctor, please follow the dosing schedule. Inform your doctor of any worrying symptoms. If you do not have the opportunity to consult your doctor, you can use the teleconsultation here:
