Great job staying on top of your health! It’s so important to make sure your birth control method works with your lifestyle, especially if you change medications or daily schedule.

Most current research says no: Adderall won’t interfere with your oral contraceptives.  However, other ADHD medications, such as Librium, may perform differently when combined with birth control pills.  The most important thing is to talk to your doctor. Tell your physician which contraceptive you are on, so he or she can prescribe a medication that keeps you safe and healthy.  Make sure you tell your birth control provider–whether Teen Clinic or another office–about your new medication, too!  And don’t worry:  if the oral contraceptive you’re on isn’t a good match for your new medication, Teen Clinic can help you pick one that is.
