My period is late for a week now. I'm taking medicines Cipralex15mg and lexotanine1.5 could it be the cause? I'm also sleeping way too much becz of the medicines. ps: I'm not married so no pregnancy
One week late is still in the limit of the normal. You didn't mention how long you were taking these pills. If you were just starting, it can have an impact.
As dr.Salim mentioned one week still in the normal interval for a period to be late ,there may be several causes for that such as stress. if your period is delayed more then it might be the drug influence especialy if your period before on time and regular.
Many medications can cause side effects.The following side effects have been reported when using this medication from some people:
changes in heart rate
congested or runny nose
constipation
diarrhea
difficulty sleeping
dizziness
drowsiness
dry mouth
fatigue
fever
heartburn
increased sweating
insomnia
loss of appetite
nausea
sexual dysfunction including:
decreased libido (sex drive)
erectile dysfunction (difficulty getting or keeping an erection)
inability to have an orgasm
stomach upset
yawning
The most common side effects of lexotanin reported are drowsiness, sedation, ataxia, memory impairment, and dizziness
So ,being sleepy is one of the side effects of both medications especially when taken with each other.
if you feel concerned about your situation and you experience bad side effects check with your doctor ,he may change the dose
