Nuvaring + Clonazepam

[barelcwgal.livejournal.com]

Hello,

I've been on Nuvaring for over two years, and I like it just fine. About one month ago, I got put on Clonazepam for my panic attacks. The doctor never asked which form of birth control I was on at the time.

Today, while surfing the web, I come to find that Nuvaring interacts badly with "some" anticonvulsants. Though I take Clonazepam for panic, it is also used as an anticonvulsant.

Neither my doctor nor my gyno are around on the weekend and I was wondering if anyone out there has read anything about the interactions of Clonazepam and Nuvaring. Or even which anticonvulsants do react with Nuvaring.

I wont be having sex without backup till hearing from my doctors. But I'm rather nervous as for the past month I -have- been having sex using only Nuvaring and also because Clonazepam is really bad for a fetus. I plan on taking a pregnancy test tomorrow just in case, but the nerves are really getting to me.

Also, is there any way to contact Nuvaring directly to ask them? I've asked pharmacists before about possible interactions with Nuvarings and antibiotics, among other things, and none have thus far seem very knowledgeable about interactions of any kind.

Thanks in advance!
Danielle
