Taking Aygestin And Having Panic Attacks, Agitation, Sweating, Insomnia. Also Taking Armour Thyroid. Any Problem In The Usage Of Medicines?
Question: I am not quite sure how this works. But I wrote earlier about taking aygestin.
It is causing major panic attacks, agitation, sweatig, insomnia. Very distressing. Try to manage with ativan. But also trying to currently taper the ativan. Would rather stop or try halving dosage on the aygestin. Is this going to cause a serious bleedi g problem??
i also take armour thyroid. Is the Aygestin causing me to be hyperthyroid?

Brief Answer:
Stop taking aygestin
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
When my patients report such side effects to me about aygestin, I usually stop the medication and re evaluate the patients for alternative ways of contraception or medication. I would strongly recommend you report to your doctor, be re evaluated and alternative medication be prescribed.
After you have stopped aygestin, you might have withdrawl bleeding for 3-7 days. When these happens don't worry.
Ativan is drug used for anxiety disorders and does not cause harm when used with aygestin. HOWEVER you must stop all the medication and be re evaluated by your doctor and alternative drugs be prescribed .
Hope I answered your question. I will be happy to help you if you have other queries.
Regards
