Is Taking Topamax Safe For Birth Control ?
I m on implanon and haven t had my period in a year. Out of nowhere, I got cramps and the next morning woke up with bleeding. Also, I ve been taking topamax which I know decreases the effect of the birth control, what are the chances I could get pregnant?

Topamax should not decrease the effect of the implanon, though it could decrease the effect of birth control pills. Also, some people may have an irregular period on the Implanon, even if you have went for a long time without a period. As long as it is not very long or very heavy you don't need to worry about the bleeding. I hope this helps answer your question, please let me know if you have any more questions.
