over_medd...I have been on Quasense BIrth Contol for over a year now. My doctor recently perscribed me Co Q-10 vitamins, and pre-natal vitamins to make up for vitamins I was lacking in my diet. I have had my menstrual period for the last seven, almost eight weeks. Not spotting or anything, heavy bleeding with severe clotting. I will list my other medications below. The time while I was taking the other pill given to me (the one you take every three months while you are on your period) was when I had the lightest bleeding and actually no bleeding at all for a night or two. Just wondering why I am taking birthcontrol to have safer sex, when I can't even have sex. Thanks.
Lamotrigine 200mg daily
Vyvanse 40mg daily
Omeprazol 20mg daily
Citalopram 40mg daily
Co Q-10 200mg daily
Prenatal One daily (walgreen's brand- compare to "stuart pre-natal")
Quasense 0.15mg/ 0.03mg daily
Klonopin- 0.5mg as needed (no more than 1.mg daily)
If anyone can answer this question I would REALLY appreciate it. Thanks
Why have I had a heavy, non stop seven week period while I am on birth control?

Geez, if I had an eight week, bleeding to death period, I have myself, first call to gynecologist, second call to pharmacist to see if there are any issues with the psych meds (we r on the same ones). It just may be you need to take different BCP's.
That's my take on this situation.
Peace sister and take care,

FYI: I had a four week experience as you described. It was a miscarriage and almost bled to death. I was young and had no idea. Go to a doctor immediately. Please don't do this any longer. There is medication to stop the bleeding.
I hadn't thought of that EP since she stated that she'd been on BCP's and this was a new one. I know I had to try several before I found one that worked. Thank you for cleaning up after me. Whatever would I do without you, I can't imagine that at all.
Hope your Sunday is filled with happiness and no pain. ILY.
Peace sister, my kindred spirit ...
