Anyone here take both HRT and anti-seizure meds?

[Jay Cee]

And if so, what's been your experience? I'll talk to my doctor about it, of course, but I'd like to hear more about it from folks who actually use both medications.

Thanks

At the same time?:heehee: just kidding. No. I have taken Tegretol many years ago.
Probably a better question for your doctor, as everyone's body is different, however I don't see where it would matter unless anti seizure medication is gender specific which seems unlikely.

I'm more concerned about compounding any negative effects on the liver.

[Aprilrain]

good point. talk to your doctor.

you can take the estrogen part of HRT in a way that minimizes impact on the liver..i'm not a doctor, but i believe injections are one way to do that..

is your liver in a compromised state now?

...is your liver in a compromised state now?

Not at all. I do get bloodwork done every year, as tegretol can potentially affect the liver.

Injections, eh? Sounds like fun. :)
