Could antidepressants cause a late/missed period?
More than likely its the medications. If your test came out negative nearly two weeks after your missed period, then there is no pregnancy hormone detected. Practically all women would have a high enough level of the pregnancy hormone in their system by 2 weeks after unprotected sex, so typically this would occur by the time you miss your period. Make sense? There are several causes of a missed or late period, medications being one of the top main reasons other than pregnancy. If you don’t get your period within the next week, you definitely need to see your doctor. It’s not good for a medication to cause you to completely skip periods, though sometimes the reason for treatment outweighs the negative side effects.
