Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: ENG Implant Users
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.
Drug: Topiramate

Topiramate - Participants will undergo a 6 week titrated regimen of oral topiramate to reach a maximum dose of 400mg per day:

Week 1 - topiramate PO 25mg daily Week 2 - topiramate PO 25mg twice daily Week 3 - topiramate PO 50mg twice daily Week 4 - topiramate PO 100mg twice daily Week 5 - topiramate PO 150mg twice daily Week 6 - topiramate PO 200mg twice daily

Time Frame
Serum Etonogestrel Concentrations
Time Frame: Enrollment (Baseline), 4 weeks (Visit 2), 5 weeks (Visit 3), 6 weeks (Visit 4)
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.
