There is some evidence that suggests that Topiramate has an effect on the reproductive system, more specifically on the efficacy of orally-contraception pills (OCPs): "However, many anticonvulsant medications can induce an increase in hepatic microsomal enzymes, which can produce increased pill metabolism: "The result has been a decrease in the pill’s contraceptive efficacy resulting in an estimated 3.1 pregnancies per 100 women years of use. These medications include carbamazepine, topiramate, and tiagabine. A number of anticonvulsants do not cause such interference, including valproic acid and lamotrigine."

I don't know what this means clinically.
