Can u take pain pills, diet pills, and birth control together? Is it dangerous?

I don't suggest taking all three of these at the same time, because you don't know if and how they will counteract each other. A lot of pain medications are central nervous system (CNS) depressants. Your diet pills on the other hand, are stimulants. Stimulants and depressants don't interact well with one another and could cause a cross-tolerance.\n\nAnd your birth control pills. If you are taking an over-the-counter diet pill, you should know that a lot of herbs that can be found in such pills reduce the effectiveness of the pill. So taking all three of these in conjunction isn't wise.

thats so not good, why would you do that? im sorry i just had to ask i think you defientley need to speak with whichever kind of doctor gave you those pills and they should have went over how to take them with you more thorougly. taking for at one time can be very damaging towards your body and mess you period up for a while. i think you need to get on the phone with them and find out what to do its there job to tell you how to use them, and your job to read the instructions. k-t and im sorry they went very thorough but atleast now you know

The amount of weight gain associated with the birth control pill is very slight... and a lot of doctors think that it's just due to the fact that everyone tends to gain weight and have more trouble keeping it off as they get older.  Some women lose weight while on the pill!  \n\nYour doctor can give you good advice, but a low-dose pill (another commenter said Ortho tri cyclen lo, which is a good one) generally will have fewer side effects, including weight gain.

Hi,\n\nIn general, it is not "bad" to use birth control pills "through the years."  However, there are risks (especially if you smoke, etc.)\n\nI put links to a couple of websites that should be able to answer any question you would have about the pill or other methods of birth control.\n\nTake care of yourself :)

Yes, you can. No birth control method is 100% effective!

Those pills have a very high level of hormones, it's not recommendable to take it every time after you have sex. You should consider the serious side effects.

As long as you take you medication at the same time everyday you will be ok but just remember birth control is only 99.9% accurate, which means there is still that slight chance of getting pregnant. I've been on the pill for almost a month now an ive had sexual intercourse and ive been fine.

Of course not. Birth control Pills might interact with other medications, however, including certain herbal remedies. St John's Wort destroys them, Nicotine raises the possibility of deep venous thrombosis, and some anticonvulsants maight have stronger effects in combination with birth control pills. Theonly vitamin that can have an adverse effect on pregnancy is vitamin A, wich can cause severe birth defects. Talk to yur doctor

Talk to a doctor ASAP about the possible pregnancy, the stress, and what pills could be ideal for you.\n\n\nFor now, diet pills and stress can mess with your period, even if you are ALWAYS normal.. \n\nI know no one wants to hear this, but you may want to quit the pills. If you are having issues with your health as a result of them, do you really want to keep taking them?\nAt least consider switching diet pills. They are not all the same, many of them will effect people differently.  Go to GNC (or some similar store) and talk to a clerk. Tell them what you took and the effects it had on you and see what they recommend.\n\nALSO, remember you could still be pregnant. \nDepending on the type of tests you took you could be pregnant, and the right hormones are not being looked for.

It might, and I stress might, work in the short run, but pill, never work in the long run.  Stick with diet and exercise and that weight loss will be sustainable, not to mention you'll feel better.  Also, the safety of those pills cant be determined to YEARS later.  Some over a decade.  Most of them are not regulated by the FDA.  I would stay away from them in general because you dont know what kind of bad things you can be doing to your body.

I don't think it would hurt.  (Obviously, your doctor is the only person qualified to answer this, though.)  A number of women use these products for reasons that have nothing to do with birth control.

No diet pill is good to use to lose weight if you want to be healthy. The best way to lose weight is to control your eating habits, eating healthier, and exercising. Diet Pills are not 100% safe or effective you know.

Yes, The Dr. will always advise you to practice safe sex. The pill will only protect you from getting pregnant. Using the pill does NOT protect against any STD (Aids, chlamydia,syphlis,Herpes.. and many others) You need a condom to keep from catching one of those.

It shouldn't cause a problem as long as you stop taking it as soon as you find out you are pregnant.  I was a birth control accident baby and oddly enough my first son was one too.  We are both fine as far as I can tell, and when I told my OB-GYN, they weren't that concerned because I hadn't been taking the pill that long while I was pregnant.
