Three years ago a dr. put me on depacote and effexor at the same time, he said I was the poster child for bipolar disorder also known as manic depression. Effexor was my "happy pill" as I called it and depacote was my "sad pill" one was to keep me from getting depressed and the other to keep me from getting too happy. When I refused to take them because of all of the side effects I was having, I got hallucinations and had to go on anti-psycotic meds. This is a deadly combo. My new neuro doc said that she has never heard of someone being put on these two at the same time. As for your question about birth control and depacote. The depacote will counter act with your birth control and it will not prevent you from getting pregnant.
