There are bc options, they just have to be high in estrogen. I'm on demulen 1/50, but the side effects aren't tolerable for me. It's causing extreme acne. I believe you can also use the patch. I'm fairly certain of this, in fact. I'm going next week to find out what other options I have. I know you can take bc, it just has to be high in estrogen. Demulen is high in estrogen, but it caused me to also get a yeast infection (oh no!!! can you believe that?). I'll find out what ALL of the options are and report back. I'm taking 300 mgs a day, bTW. And again, you need to be sure that you tell your OBGYN that you're taking topamax before starting bc. I'll let you know what happens...
