I can't afford all of these doctors!!! ARG!!! I'm not paying out of pocket to see a dermotologist. You said the patch caused acne for you? Then I'm not doing it. I'm going to just assume that all bc with high levels of estrogen cause acne. Demulen caused acne really bad, and I've never really had a problem in the past. Slightly with topamax, but I use Clinique 3 step and it helps keep it at bay. I give up. Back to condoms. My boyfriend can suffer, as I WILL NOT!!! Not on this one. I did read though that the interaction rate, if you take 400 mgs/day is estimated to be at about 20% , 200 mgs is 18% and 800 mgs topamax is 30 %. that's from topamax.com on teh third page under oral contraceptive section. And again,they aren't completely sure...
