The regular dose BC pill makes me crazy. I take Loestrin Fe 1/20. It's about the lowest dose you can take that has both hormones in it. I am on Topomax 50mg (my eyes are MUCH BETTER NOW THANKS!) and it hasn't interfered with my pills at all. If you switch to a lower dosage BC pill it probably will clear up. I was worried about it interfering with my BC too until I read that only over 1200mg a day does it do so and I don't know anyone that would take that much! The patch also doesn't work in women over 200lbs (I'm not sure how much you weigh), so if you weigh more than that, weight might be an issue too. Hope this helps!
