Birth control and stimulant meds

Nicole

This is a little specific, but I was wondering if anyone had experience with this.

I’ve been taking Concerta (methylphenidate) for about 6 years, and have been at my current 72mg dose for 3 years. I recently started taking Junel Fe 1/20 (microgestin) and am almost through the second month. I know it takes a few months to adjust to birth control medications, but I’ve noticed I’ve been having a much harder time with my adhd symptoms and was wondering if anyone else noticed that birth control interferes with a stimulant medication?
