how does celexa effect the birth control pill?

Question:

will the pill still be as effective? i have been on celexa for a month and a half now. and was wondering this

Answers:
No worries on that, girl. The only troubles I've had were with anti-siezure meds (Lamictal) and some MAOI's. SSRI's generally had no effects...

Escitalopram (=Celexa) and birth control pills have no known interactions -and no known way they could interact at least according to a very large medicine -interaction data base and the manufacturer's data. On the other hand a lot of other medications may affect birth control pills, for example some antiepileptics like carbamazepine (Tegretol) and phenytoin (Dilantin), so Lamictal is by far not the only one.
