I started a new medication called Carbamazepine for Trigeminal Neuralgia. Since starting the medication, I experienced spotting and then a heavier period, which is occurring earlier than expected according to my birth control schedule. I am currently on Sprintec birth control pills. Should I expect my period again in a week and a half, and will this medication affect the effectiveness of my birth control?

Anything else in your medical history you think the Doctor should know?
