For a month now I have been taking slinda contraceptive pills and Elicea antidepressants (Escitalopram) between pills I take an hour break. The psychiatrist said it was too short a break between pills. Can I get pregnant if I only take an hour break between pills? Now I'm on a 2 tablet placebo and there was bleeding or does that mean no pregnancy?

No, if you used the tablets every day, at the same time, without omissions, there is no fear that you got pregnant, in my opinion a break of about 1 hour is sufficient. Escitalopram is not a substance that threatens the effectiveness of Slinda contraception. Bleeding is a good symptom, it should occur with the correct use of contraception, it is usually associated with the absence of pregnancy, but it is not a factor that 100% excludes it. However, as I wrote - if you used the tablets every day, without omissions - the risk of pregnancy is negligible. For confirmation, you can take a pregnancy test about 10-14 days after intercourse.
