Re: [epilepsy] Birth control and carbatrol for my 18 year old daughter? Help!

Janice,

Has the Dr tried any other meds? There are about
30 different kinds. Hope you find one that works.
I don't know much about birth control. 2 of my girls
were on them. They got them themselves and didn't
talk about it.

I guess what I am asking--Since she has her period
at the regular time and one in between-- does that
mean the birth control lessens the strength of the
EP med?
