Before my hysterectomy I used the birth control pill. I used LoOveral and had very good luck with it. My friend is on seasonal and loves it. I can't say much about it having interactions with your current meds because I'd already had my hysterectomy by the time I started the meds for my bp. Talk to your dr.
I take birth control pills.. Triphasil/Trilevin (spelling?) and they work just fine for me. My Pdoc was careful to give me medication that does not interact with the pill. I take Abilify and Lamictal (so I know those two have no effect) He did tell me which ones affect the pill, but I am sorry, I can't remember which ones those were... I would ask your Pdoc before you make a decision...
Oh, and I agree with Cheri, a vasectomy for hubby would be my first choice if we could get insurance to pay for it...
Hey Danielle! can you tell me if there are any of BP drugs you have to stop taking prior to surgery? im taking 900mg lithium,300 seroquel,200 lamictal,40mg prozac. i left a message for my pdoc but she hasnt gotten back to me. her phone ettiquette sucks (ooops! can i say that? lol)

You might want to stop by our Birth Control board -- it's very busy with lots of good information and support!
Also, here's some info on types of birth control.
Best wishes
