Some antiseizure medication levels are affected by hormones. This study is being done to determine if blood levels of lamotrigine or valproate are affected by the hormones in the birth control pill or the menstrual cycle itself.
Detailed description
Participants will be given informed consent and will be asked to have two blood draws at specific times of the menstrual cycle or if on a birth control pill, during the active and inactive pill phases.
