Seizure From Xulane

Updated

I have taken this birth control for one week . My side effects were nausea and a seizure. I do not have a seizure disorder. The other honest possibilility is an increase in anxiety which led to "seizure like" symptoms. Either way I have taken the patch off after one week.

Hello, Ang! How are you?

Have you informed your doctor, so they can check things out?

It's very important that you discover what caused the seizure, in case it was unrelated to the Xulane.

The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, breakthrough bleeding and skin irritation.

Yes I know and yes I've seen doctors, plural. A neurologist, an er doc, and my primary care doc. I realize those are common side effects, I had trouble sleeping and nausea as well as the seizure-like symptoms. It was non epileptic, but is listed as a possible, yet uncommon, side effect. I would not tell anyone not to take this medication, since I'm sure it was a rare reaction. It just happened to be mine. Thanks for the input!
