Does meth affect the contraceptive implant?

Answer 1

I had been on Yasmin (Yaz is the generic) for almost 4 years when I started taking 16mg Suboxone daily. Got violently sick every single day as if on schedule. Tried everything, changing when and how I take both meds, nothing worked. Gyno switched me to Yaz, then Loestrin, then Tri-Sprintec, and got nauseous and vomited badly every single day. Now I'm only down to 12mg suboxone and have been off of all Birth Control because obviously need the suboxone much more. I just took my 1st dose of Tri-Sprintec (thought I'd try again, as I have extremely heavy and painful periods of course, on top of everything else) and am hoping to handle it better? THERE IS NO DOCUMENTED LITERATURE/FINDINGS ON THE INTERACTIONS BETWEEN THESE TWO MEDICATIONS! I've told both doctors, both seemed uninterested. This is a huge problem, and with my own background have assumed it was the bupe in the suboxone causing the problem. I'd be very curious to see if someone on subutex would have the same reaction (guarantee they won't).

Answer 2

There are no known drug interactions between methamphetamine and the birth control pill. If you are taking methamphetamine illegally, however, it may affect your health in other ways that would make a more reliable method of birth control necessary. Talk with your health care provider about how to avoid a pregnancy at this time if you are abusing drugs.

Answer 3

There are no known drug interactions between methadone and the birth control pill, patch, ring, or implant, nor with Depo Provera or the Mirena or Paragard IUDs.

Answer 4

There are no known drug interactions between methamphetamine and the contraceptive implant.
