Arms of the Study

Arm 1

Arm Type

Experimental

Arm Label

ENG Implant Users

Arm Description

Healthy women using an ENG implant for at least 12 months and no greater than 36 months will be administered a 6 week titration schedule of topiramate to a max dose of 200mg bid by the final week.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Serum Etonogestrel Concentrations
The investigators will collect serum from participants at enrollment and at each of the three study follow-up visits. All samples will be batched for analysis. Analysis will be performed using a liquid-chromatography mass-spectrometry validated assay for measurement of serum etonogestrel concentration.
