I have found this with tegretol, I don't know about topomax but I know that tegretol can stop the birth control pill from working properly - it should tell you in the leaflet that comes with the med.  I have stopped my tegretol because of pregnancy symptoms and since stopping all the symptoms have gone (and a negative result thank goodness), yes i'm having migraines but they should pass.  I shall be discussing all of this with my psych and I suggest you do the same.

It annoys me that the psych never tells you about all the side effects etc - for instance I would of thought it important to tell a woman that her birth control method may not work!!!

Grrrrrrrr.
